Kujawski
Chairman
Kujawski became chairman of specialty-film producer Focus Features in February 2016 and has overseen such films as “Atomic Blonde,” “Nocturnal Animals,” “Kubo and the Two Strings” and “London Has Fallen.” He broke into the business at indie production company Good Machine, which was bought by Universal in 2001 and absorbed into Focus. He segued to parent company Universal the following year, becoming executive VP of worldwide acquisitions, where he handled domestic and international rights for both companies. In 2014, as managing director of Universal Pictures International, he set his sights on increasing the studio’s overseas presence through the support of local production, financing partnerships and projects in emerging markets.
