Jonathan Blum
The Kitchen welcomes Jonathan Blum, a 25-year industry veteran to its Board of Global Influencers. Blum has recently launched his consulting firm JBK Media, after serving as the President of Cisneros Media for 11 years. He brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to the prestigious Board. He has been responsible for overseeing a catalog of over 30,000 hours of entertainment content for Venevision, Pay-TV and FAST Channels, Digital Platforms, Miss Venezuela, and Cisneros Kids.
The Kitchen’s Board of Global Influencers serves as the eyes and ears for the international language team, specifically in areas of the world, or in production specialties, that The Kitchen team may not otherwise be privy to.
Introduced just over a year ago, the genius effort has opened numerous doors for The Kitchen internationally. Jonathan Blum joins his fellow industry professionals, including: David Levine; Jennifer Chrein (Monier-Williams); Christine Waage; Jonathan Abraham; Dean Koocher; Summer Yang and Markus Andorfer.
“This esteemed selection of respected industry leaders, has given The Kitchen a leg up in terms of extending its global reach”, Deeny Kaplan, Executive Vice President of The Kitchen explained. “Having Board members in Israel, Singapore, Canada, Austria, England, New York, San Francisco, Latin America and the like, allows us to have instant information on each of the local industry powerhouse locations. We’re thrilled with the success of this effort and look forward to having Jonathan Blum playing a big part of The Kitchen’s future as a key language localization leader.”
