Los Angeles, CA - August 18, 2025 - FOX Entertainment Studios (FES) announced that longtime executive Dana Tafoya-Cameron has been elevated to EVP & Head of Bento Box Entertainment and Animation at FES, while Netflix alum Michelle Huynh has been named EVP, Studio Content Operations for FES. Both executives report directly to Fernando Szew, President & Head of FOX Entertainment Studios and assume roles critical to advancing the studio's creative strategy and shaping its vision for the future.
"These two proven leaders make our strong leadership team even stronger," said Szew. "With a world-class senior team now in place, we'll leverage the power of FOX to continue building a modern content studio, where bold storytelling and innovative production come together to shape what's next in entertainment."
Prior to her promotion to EVP & Head of Bento Box Entertainment and Animation, Tafoya-Cameron was Bento Box's Head of Production, scaling its production operations, expanding its global footprint and overseeing hit animated series ranging from the FOX-owned Krapopolis, Grimsburg and Universal Basic Guys to Bob's Burgers and The Great North. Tafoya-Cameron has more than 30 years of experience in animation production and studio management, and before joining Bento Box in 2019, she played pivotal roles at Film Roman, Activision, Fox Family, Saban Entertainment and Marvel.
"As the new Head of Bento and our growing Animation slate, Dana steps into the role previously held by Brett Coker, a highly respected animation veteran who helped start Bento Box in 2009 and announced his retirement this summer, leaving behind a legacy of creative excellence and outstanding leadership," added Szew. "We thank Brett for his countless contributions, wish him well and know he leaves the studio in the best of hands as Dana continues to grow Bento Box as a hub for creator-driven content and innovation in the animation space."
