S03E10: Amir Nasrabadi — Drawn to Creative Fire
Amir Nasrabadi’s love for animation grew out of
watching cartoons as a child: Peanuts, Rocky &
Bullwinkle, and pretty much anything else he could
find on TV, but he never imagined that he’d one day
find himself working in the industry that sparked his
creative passion.
A career in finance seemed like a great idea; it
was stable and as a career counselor told him, “there
will always be a need for accountants,” but after
years of working as an auditor, he followed an inner
instinct to search for something new, and that search
lead him to his first position in the film
industry.
Now with 20+ years of experience, Amir is a veteran
and leader of the industry, having worked at some of
the largest and most respected companies in animation,
including Pixar, Paramount Pictures Animation,
Illumination Entertainment, and Disney.
We recently had a chance to speak with Amir about
his career, taking risks, and how his curiosity has
shaped his work as a leader.
