Genevieve Ledoux
CEO / EXECUTIVE PRODUCER / WEAVER OF STRANGE TALES
The Emmy-winning Producer spent her “grown up” years developing children’s content for TV and film. She has worked in production and development for many of the biggest industry players such as Hasbro, Mattel, Disney, Amazon, Baby Einstein, WildBrain Studios, DHX Media and others. She is continually inspired by the many ways to tell stories. She has spent most of her life telling tales, some taller than others. She doesn’t believe in luck, but knows that the people she has been blessed to know and work with are some of the best in the business, including her own husband Chris LeDoux, who is a partner and inspiration.
Genevieve resides just outside Atlanta and enjoys exploring her backyard river with her two boys, collecting stories, rocks and fallen stars.
