John Baldecchi

I have been recognized as a media executive, business strategist, movie, television and podcast producer with high-profile, money-making projects with the most successful project returning 25x on the initial investment ($5M to $128M). As a Founder of Roundtable Entertainment, our strategy is to take advantage of the exploding demand for quality IP across scripted, unscripted, web3 and Fast Channels. The mission for scripted is to monetize through web3, feature films, episodic/TV and podcasts.

I have produced and supervised dozens of projects with some of the world's biggest stars resulting in major box office and viewership. Recent films include "Happy Death Day" and the sequel "Happy Death Day 2U" both movies were hits for Universal. On the series side I have shows with Showtime, The CW, Amazon and Netflix. As a board member of podcast producer KaniMob, we have developed a slate of original scripted and always-on podcasts as the first step in derivative monetization.

I am skilled in analyzing opportunities and advising on financing, acquisition, content development, production, and distribution. Because of my long-standing relationships in both the traditional media space as well as new media and streamers, I bring deep personal relationships and connections as well as wide-ranging knowledge of content. Earlier in my career, as president of a major Disney-based production entity where I provided strategic leadership for a slate of diverse projects.

I am business-minded, financially savvy, and I have a talent for pinpointing the best-possible method of moving forward with a project regardless complexity. I have managed and run media projects that range in size from under $1M to over $100M.

I have also negotiated major IP deals and secured partnerships with technology companies—as well as venture capital and private equity firms—to accelerate the creation, financing, and distribution of original, compelling digital content.
