Jenefer Brown Executive Vice President & Head of Global Live, Interactive & Location Based Entertainment Lionsgate
Jen Brown is one of the fastest-rising executive talents in Hollywood. In a few short years she has established Lionsgate as a major force in branded entertainment with an extraordinarily rapidly growing location-based entertainment business that encompasses attractions in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Additionally, in 2021 she assumed leadership of the dynamic entertainment interactive games business that continues to dramatically expand the reach of Lionsgate’s iconic film and television properties.
Under her visionary guidance, the company in the past 24 months has opened Lionsgate Entertainment World in Hengqin, China, a vertically designed indoor theme park. The bold initiative adds to a portfolio of Lionsgate-branded attractions and events that includes the Lionsgate Zone of Motiongate theme park in Dubai; the Official Saw Escape Room in Las Vegas; The Hunger Games: The Exhibition, the Now You See Me Live state show; and La La Land, Hunger Games and Twilight live-to-film concert tours.
Under Brown’s leadership, Lionsgate is also adapting several of its most acclaimed intellectual properties to the Broadway stage in collaboration with an award-winning producer, including the long-running television series “Nashville” and the film sensation, “Wonder.”
Also, since Brown assumed leadership of Lionsgate’s interactive games business, the division has garnered critical acclaim and won several major awards at E3. Recent highlights include the groundbreaking Fortnite X John Wick crossover, John Wick Hex; psychological horror game Blair Witch; and top-selling Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted. Other releases include the addition of Hellboy to Ubisoft’s top-ranked fighting game Brawlhalla and Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid.
