I’m Jason Georgen, an award-winning Executive Producer with over 20 years of experience leading teams, wrangling budgets, and turning ideas into work people actually remember for some of the world’s most recognizable brands.
From nimble, budget-conscious productions to complex global rollouts, I know how to stretch resources without stretching the idea. I build systems and teams that move fast and reliably so creative teams can focus on what really matters — the work.
Born in Detroit and now rooted in Chicago, I bring a Motor City work ethic with a Windy City attitude, all topped with Midwestern charm. I obsess over the details of production, but what drives me is the work. I believe the best ideas come when collaboration is fearless, people are respected, and everyone involved feels like they’re part of the story.
I take my work seriously, but not myself. I’m witty and sarcastic, usually both at the same time. I’ll joke with you relentlessly, but I’ll always show up when it counts. I believe Tom Izzo could run a country better than most politicians, and I’ll tell anyone who will listen that I’m Armenian. I’ll impress you with my memory, and I can give Dick Wolf a run for his money with my Law & Order: SVU knowledge. My wife and our dog keep me grounded and remind me I’m just a few kids and one picket fence short of the American dream.
