Universal Pictures on Tuesday morning announced its appointment of CAA veteran Matt Leaf as EVP, Head of Business Affairs
In his new role, Leaf will lead the studio’s theatrical Business Affairs team responsible for negotiating above-the-line talent deals. He will establish terms for all projects developed, produced and distributed by the studio, along with those sold to or licensed by it, working closely with the Film Strategy team to prep financial models that will be used in the evaluation of new projects.
Leaf reports to NBCUniversal’s Vice Chairman of Business Affairs & Operations, Jimmy Horowitz.
