Ari Luxenberg is a Senior Vice President of Business Affairs for Paramount Television where he is responsible for negotiating deals on behalf of the studio to hire actors, writers, directors, producers and other key elements for various television shows. He also negotiates network deals and rights agreements to acquire books, podcasts and other pieces of intellectual property to be adapted into television shows.  

Prior to joining Paramount Television, Ari was a Director of Legal Affairs at Warner Bros. Television where that role was analogous to serving in a general counsel capacity for the shows he worked on.

Ari attended law school at Emory University and then worked as a corporate attorney for a large law firm in Atlanta, but gave up his position in order to pursue his life-long dream of working in the entertainment business – putting his law school loans on forbearance and moving to Los Angeles to work as an assistant at a talent agency and work his way up in the industry.
