Jon Rosen Bio:
Jon Rosen founded Envisionary in 2024 after working for over three decades in key leadership roles at the William Morris Endeavor and William Morris Agency, respectively. Rosen served as Senior Partner, Co-Head of Television and served on both WMA’s and WME’s Board of Directors.
One of Rosen’s exceptional strengths is his innate ability to spot the next big thing. He has revolutionized the world of lifestyle entertainment by discovering and nurturing chefs like Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, and Rachael Ray, and transforming them into multi-hyphenate global stars. His keen eye for talent has established food as a prominent pillar of pop culture and The New York Times once said, “If agents were chefs, he’d be Thomas Keller.”
Rosen’s versatility and passion extends beyond food entertainment. Leveraging his love for sports, he has successfully negotiated and delivered multimillion-dollar deals for high-profile clients such as Alex Rodriguez, Robin Roberts, and Stephen A. Smith. In 2007, Rosen launched the branded lifestyle group, propelling WME ahead of its competition by identifying and developing comprehensive, multiplatform enterprises for personalities and brands in various lifestyle and entertainment sectors. Rosen adopted a holistic representation approach, offering clients opportunities and strategies spanning television, merchandising, licensing, publishing, and digital distribution within the company.
