As President and CEO of Alkemy X, Justin Wineburgh has transformed the company from a local post production studio into a solutions-driven media and entertainment powerhouse with expanding expertise into the hottest sectors of the industry. From work on Emmy-winning series on top streaming platforms to original branded content connecting viewers with consumers, influencers and tastemakers, in less than four years at the helm of Alkemy X, he has established the global company as a player to watch.
Since joining Alkemy X in 2016, Wineburgh has rejuvenated the company, restructuring the leadership team and strategic vision to become an award-winning creative partner at the intersection of entertainment, advertising and technology. He has rapidly built a diverse team of in-house talent while overseeing the growth of the company’s VFX division to include work on top series such as Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, establishing Alkemy X as a leader in unscripted development with original series such as TLC’s Drag Me Down the Aisle, and growing the company’s slate of branded production for the likes of Bud Light, Samsung, Google, Comcast and more.
Wineburgh began his career as an attorney with one of the largest law firms in the world, rapidly rising through the ranks and being named partner at the firm at 31 years old. Over the course of his 16 years at the firm, he built the firm’s global media and entertainment practice from the ground up, representing a broad range of clients in all facets of the industry. In his practice, he served as Alkemy X’s outside General Counsel since 2005, before being asked to take over the role of President and CEO in February 2016.
Among his business accolades, Wineburgh is a published author of The Essential Guide to Entertainment Law: Dealmaking, was named a 40 Under 40 Winner by the Business Journal, and was recently nominated as an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist in 2019 for the Greater Philadelphia area.
