Albert Cheng is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood. Albert runs Prime Video US & Global for Amazon and is responsible for critically acclaimed hit shows such as Fallout, Rings of Power, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and The Boys among others. Albert has made it in an industry where there are few Asian American executives in power, by rising through the ranks at Disney/ABC for close to 15 years.
Albert went from growing up in the sunshine of Honolulu, Hawaii to the freezing cold winters of Cambridge, Massachusetts when he attended MIT. He would go on to become an engineer at Boeing, but his heart was always in entertainment. He quit Boeing to join BCG and attended Harvard Business School where he co-led the Entertainment and Media Club with Hulu founder Jason Kilar.
After HBS, he returned to Los Angeles where his heart was and rejoined BCG before working at Fox. Ultimately, he would spend the next decade and a half at The Walt Disney Company leading the charge to modernize and digitize content and figure out how to monetize it. He was the perfect person for the COO job at Amazon Studios and now he's running all of Prime Video in the United States.
As one of the most prominent Asian American executives in Hollywood, Albert is also paving the way for representation both in front of and behind the camera.
