Thunderbird Entertainment Promotes Lori Massini to General Counsel

The entertainment law expert moves up from SVP of Legal and Business Affairs role

Chief Operating Officer Sarah Nathanson has resigned from her position, effective April 9, 2024

Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV: TBRD, OTCQX: THBRF) (“Thunderbird” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the promotion of Lori Massini to the position of General Counsel for the Company. Ms. Massini moves up to the post from her previous role as Senior Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs in which she led production legal across all programming genres produced by the Company.

In her new role, Ms. Massini will work with the executive team to ensure that there is a high standard of legal compliance across the business and provide advice to business units across the company, while also continuing to oversee Thunderbird’s Legal and Business Affairs team. Ms. Massini has worked on structuring and financing international co-productions, co-ventures, Canadian content and service shows.

Ms. Massini joined Thunderbird in 2021 as Vice President of Legal and Business Affairs. Prior to that, she practiced entertainment law for more than 10 years, assisting numerous Canadian and American producers and studios with their legal and business affairs needs. Ms. Massini has acted as production counsel for original programming for networks such as Nickelodeon, Disney, the Food Network and Discovery. She has extensive experience negotiating contracts for actors, directors, producers and crew, managing employment and labour issues, advising on corporate legal matters and overseeing complex financing arrangements.

At the same time, Thunderbird General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Operating Officer Sarah Nathanson has announced her resignation from the roles, effective April 9, 2024. Ms. Nathanson joined Thunderbird in 2018 as VP of Legal and Business Affairs and was subsequently promoted to General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and later appointed COO in 2021.

“Lori has proven to be an invaluable asset to our legal team during her time at Thunderbird. We are thrilled that Lori is stepping into this well-deserved key role, where she will employ her admirable legal judgment and acumen to help guide the Company in this wider capacity,” said CEO and Chair, Jennifer Twiner McCarron, adding, “We are very grateful to Sarah for her time at the company and the crucial role she has played in Thunderbird’s growth over the past five years.”
