Michael Flaherty, President
Walden Media  

Speaker Bio:  Micheal Flaherty is the president of Walden Media, a company he co-founded with his former college roommate, Cary Granat, to produce films, books, and interactive programs that tie directly into school curricula.  Acclaimed for such films as The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Charlotte’s Web, and Bridge to Terabithia, Walden Media aims to recapture imagination, rekindle curiosity, and demonstrate the rewards of learning. Producing both original works and adaptations of acclaimed children’s literature, Walden Media projects are enhanced by comprehensive outreach and supplemental programs for teachers, librarians, and parents. Upcoming releases include The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

In 2001, Flaherty joined his Tufts University roommate, former president of Miramax’s Dimension Films Cary Granat, in founding Los Angeles based Walden Media, a subsidiary of The Anschutz Company. Walden Media seeks to marry the worlds of entertainment and education, offering audiences various ways to immerse themselves in the subject matter of its television, film, new media, and publishing products. As company president, Flaherty guides Walden’s vision across all business units.

Flaherty lives in Lexington, Mass., with his wife, Kelly, his son, Christian, his daughters Eileen and Reagan, and his dog Jumbo.
