ABC Keynoter Peter Guber Talks Filmmaking, Team Ownership

Paul Steinbach Headshot

As the producer of more than 50 major motion pictures, Peter Guber knows something about storytelling. His best-selling 2011 book Tell to Win implores readers to "connect, persuade and triumph with the hidden power of story." In fact, Guber's diverse professional resume is a rich narrative all its own. He is chairman and CEO of the multimedia Mandalay Entertainment Group, having held those titles at Sony Pictures Entertainment and Polygram Entertainment. He served as president of Columbia Pictures and cofounded Casablanca Record & FilmWorks. Films he helped bring to the screen include five Academy Award Best Picture nominees and one winner - 1988's Rainman. He has for decades invested heavily in professional sports, owning minor league baseball, basketball and hockey franchises and operating their venues. In March, he became co-owner (with Magic Johnson and others) of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he has co-owned the Golden State Warriors since 2010. Guber will deliver the keynote address Nov. 29 at the 2012 Athletic Business Conference & Expo in New Orleans, and he recently took time to provide Paul Steinbach with a preview.
