GreenSlate, a Hollywood payroll company offering software and services to production companies to track payments, process residuals, and streamline accounting, has announced a leadership change, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
John Finn founded Burbank-based GreenSlate in 2004 after working as a production accountant on projects including Lost in Translation, Pollock and Before Night Falls.
Mr Finn will reportedly be stepping back from his role as CEO of GreenSlate. He will serve as the executive chair of the company’s board of directors and remain the firm’s majority owner.
Mike Leiba has served for 18 years at GreenSlate and currently holds the president and chief operating officer title. He will now step into the CEO role. In addition, GreenSlate recently added former Village Roadshow CEO Steve Mosko and former United Talent Agency partner David Spingarn to its board.
“Mike’s leadership has been essential to GreenSlate’s consistent growth and success over the last 18 years,” Mr Finn said. “As COO and president, he has worked closely with our customers to drive efficient solutions to their toughest challenges. As CEO, he will continue to drive our vision forward, delivering the outstanding service and technological innovation our clients expect. After nearly two decades of collaboration, I know Mike is the right leader to accelerate our growth and deliver ever-greater value to clients.”
The big names in the entertainment industry payroll space include Cast & Crew (established in 1976) and Entertainment Partners (established in the same year). In recent times, new tech-driven entrants such as Wrapbook (founded in 2018) have joined the sector as film and TV production has transitioned beyond traditional studios and mini-majors.
GreenSlate reportedly pitches itself to potential clients as an “alternative to legacy, paper-driven systems that have stifled production efficiency since the 1970s.” Its clients include Netflix, A24, HBO, Paramount, Skydance, Tyler Perry Studios, Fifth Season, Banijay Americas, The North Road Company, Imagine Entertainment, Hello Sunshine, SpringHill Entertainment, Vice Media and All3Media Americas.
