Krapopolis outfit also hires Netflix exec to run studio content operations, with president Brett Coker retiring
Fox Entertainment Studios (FES) has reorganised its senior ranks, with Dana Tafoya-Cameron upped to lead animation and Bento Box Entertainment.
Tafoya-Cameron becomes exec vice president and head of Bento Box Entertainment and animation at FES, while Netflix alum Michelle Huynh has been named exec vice president of studio content operations.
Both executives report to Fernando Szew, president and head of Fox Entertainment Studios, and come after news that Brett Coker has retired. Coker had taken over from Scott Greenberg in 2023.
Prior to her promotion, Tafoya-Cameron was Bento Box’s head of production and had overseen series ranging from Krapopolis and Grimsburg to Universal Basic Guys to Bob’s Burgers.
She has worked in the business for more than three decades and before joining Bento Box in 2019 held roles at Film Roman, Activision, Fox Family, Saban Entertainment and Marvel.
Huynh joins Fox Entertainment having held multiple positions at Netflix, including global head of systems, workflows and technology.
Prior to that, she had stints at NBCUniversal and Marvel Entertainment.
“These two proven leaders make our strong leadership team even stronger,” said Szew. “With a world-class senior team now in place, we’ll leverage the power of Fox to continue building a modern content studio, where bold storytelling and innovative production come together to shape what’s next in entertainment.”
Szew added: “We thank Brett for his countless contributions, wish him well and know he leaves the studio in the best of hands as Dana continues to grow Bento Box as a hub for creator-driven content and innovation in the animation space.”
In addition to Tafoya-Cameron and Huynh, Szew’s senior management team includes unscripted chief Allison Wallach and scripted entertainment head Hannah Pillemer.
