VIZ Media
San Francisco, CA
Biography:
Charlene is one of the few fandom personalities to make the leap to the anime industry. A veteran cosplayer with over 16 years and 100 costumes in the hobby, she went on to be a professional costumer for some of Las Vegas' largest resorts as well as starting a cosplayer-centric wig company. In 2009 she made the leap to the anime industry, becoming a brand manager and eventually senior brand manager for FUNimation Entertainment. After working on many titles, including Hetalia, Summer Wars, FLCL and Panty & Stocking, she made the move back to the west coast to become Viz Media's Senior Manager of Animation Marketing. In 2017, she was promoted to Director of Animation Marketing. Her days are filled with some of the most cherished anime series of all time, including Naruto, Bleach, Ranma 1/2 and, most recently, the re-launch of Sailor Moon. She is committed to bringing the love of anime to fans everywhere.
