Katherine Kendrick will leave her job as general counsel for DreamWorks Animation when her contract with the studio expires at the end of the year.
Kendrick has been with DreamWorks Animation from the start, and is leaving to work on philanthropic efforts for such causes as the U.S. Olympic Foundation, Waterkeeper's Alliance, L.A.'s BEST (Better Educated Students for Tomorrow), the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission, Kids Play International and Columbia University School of Law's Kernochan Center for Law, Media and the Arts.
Prior to working at DreamWorks, Kendrick worked for Disney as director of legal affairs in the United States and later as VP of European legal affairs.
"Kathy has been a key member of our executive team helping to steer the company from the founding of DreamWorks through our IPO and beyond," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of the studio. "It has been my great pleasure to work with Kathy for over 20 years, first at Disney and then at DreamWorks, and I appreciate her desire to contribute her considerable talents to the various organizations she feels so strongly about."
