When the founders of Oscar-nominated animation studio Cartoon Saloon needed a seasoned executive to handle business operations as CEO, they turned to their longtime collaborator Anthony Leo. It means leaving Toronto behind for the greener pastures of Ireland, but don’t worry, Canadians—Leo plans to stay involved at Aircraft Pictures as chairman of the board.
Readers overwhelmingly said Leo earned this week’s Gold Star, and you can read what we wrote about his winning move—as well as runners-up Animaj, Lightcatcher Media, Tiny Chef and Yongsoo Kim—right here.
