Based in Los Angeles, Schneider aims to lead the company in its adoption of new technologies, including those associated with AI, motion capture and real-time rendering while building new business verticals for the company.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment of Schneider follows other news for the company. Invisible Universe recently announced that its breakout character Qai Qai, inspired by Serena Williams\u2019 daughter Olympia\u2019s favorite doll, is expanding its following with a brand-new series. <em>Dance with Qai Qai<\/em> debuted on YouTube earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Schneider said: \u201cInvisible Universe is pioneering what it means to be an animation studio in a digital-first world, blending technology and new approaches to storytelling to develop franchises. I\u2019ve been impressed by what Tricia and the team have built so far, and I\u2019m thrilled to join them as the studio continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonathan is a bit of a Hollywood unicorn in that he has straddled both creative and operations at executive levels for some of the biggest companies in media,\u201d commented Tricia Biggio, co-founder and CEO of Invisible Universe. \u201cHe shares the vision for Invisible Universe to continue redefining what it means to launch new franchises for this next generation. With deep operational expertise, a creative mindset and a passion for animation, I have no doubt that Jonathan is going to make an incredible addition to our dynamic team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Invisible Universe Studios, an internet-first animation studio, has tapped former Disney and Skydance executive Jonathan Schneider as its new president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":25641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[8145,6392,8187,8148],"class_list":["post-25640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dance-with-qai-qai","tag-invisible-universe","tag-jonathan-schneider","tag-tricia-biggio","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Invisible Universe Studios Appoints Former Disney Exec as President - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Invisible Universe Studios Appoints Former Disney Exec as President - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Invisible Universe Studios, an internet-first animation studio, has tapped former Disney and Skydance executive Jonathan Schneider as its new president.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-08-16T13:00:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-16T22:08:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/JonathanSchneider-InvisibleUniverse-0823.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/\",\"name\":\"Invisible Universe Studios Appoints Former Disney Exec as President - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-08-16T13:00:35+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-16T22:08:28+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/invisible-universe-appoints-former-disney-exec-as-president\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Invisible Universe Studios Appoints Former Disney Exec as President\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
