Jay Faires
Co-Founder & CEO US
Last reviewed
C-suite operator at The Walt Disney Company, Lionsgate and Warner Music with five successful exits, holding senior US and international media relationships.
Jay Faires is Co-Founder and CEO US of Mammoth China Outbound. He has held C-suite positions at The Walt Disney Company, Lionsgate and Warner Music Group, and has completed five successful exits over the course of his career.
His remit at Mammoth is the supply side: the senior relationships with US and international media owners, broadcasters, streaming platforms, audio networks and talent representation that determine what inventory can actually be brought to Chinese demand.
He is also developing China endorsement structures for US talent — a category that runs in the opposite direction to most outbound work and that very few operators are positioned to execute.
