Scott Greenberg, co-founder and CEO of Fox’s animation studio Bento Box Entertainment, the company behind Dan Harmon’s Krapopolis, has a new gig.
Greenberg has been named executive chairman of Othelia Technologies, a story design and management platform.
It comes as the Australian company is expanding into the U.S. with a new LA HQ run by Alexandra Hooven, who has joined the company as a Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer.
Greenburg, who left Bento Box Entertainment in April 2023, joins the company as both a strategic investor and advisor. He will oversee corporate strategy and industry partnerships.
Othelia was founded by Sydney-based CEO Kate Armstrong-Smith and Chief Technology Officer Joe Couch.
The company’s main tool is Storykeeper, which will launch in beta this fall. The tool has been used by a number of major studios and global streamers.
Othelia has secured backing from lead investor ALIAVIA Ventures, a California-based venture capital firm, and a syndicate of angel investors that includes producer Deanne Weir, former Sydney Film Festival Chair and Deputy Chair of Screen Australia, and Clarence Capital Partners.
“Throughout my career, I’ve seen first-hand how the right systems and technology can transform efficient production without compromising creativity,” said Greenberg. “In Othelia, Kate and Joe have built a powerful platform that complements the human creativity, intelligence and emotion required for storytelling and worldbuilding. Othelia gives creatives and studios the infrastructure to nurture, scale and protect the asset that audiences care about most – stories; and I’m looking forward to working with them and Alex as we introduce Othelia as an invaluable partner to the industry.”
