Hillman Grad, the multi-platform entertainment company founded by actor, producer and Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe, has bolstered its executive ranks with a new round of promotions.
Since its inception in 2015, and under the leadership of Waithe and Rajani, Hillman Grad has grown to include six divisions and 20 employees, rising to become one of the most prominent companies in entertainment, with a focus on amplifying and celebrating the stories of diverse, historically marginalized communities and developing a new generation of underrepresented creatives.
Funabashi most recently served as SVP of film and television at Hillman Grad Productions, a position she held since April 2021. In her new role as president of film and television, Funabashi will oversee all scripted and unscripted projects in development and production for Hillman Grad, in addition to managing the department team and continuing to grow their unscripted branch.
Riley has been promoted to vice president of operations and business development at Hillman Grad Productions, where he’ll use his extensive knowledge of the industry, finances, and employee output to oversee operations across multiple departments, staff, and projects, while simultaneously identifying and executing the company’s strategic goals, mission, values, and beliefs.
With Riley’s move, Wright takes over as executive director of the Hillman Grad Foundation, joining the company from BLD PWR, Kendrick Sampson’s nonprofit initiative to mobilize the entertainment industry in support of grassroots organizations, where she most recently served as associate director.
Phifér has been appointed to head of cultural marketing, after joining Hillman Grad in 2019 as a marketing executive. In his new role, he will oversee and implement new branded acquisitions for the company and its projects.
