Michael Ouweleen

Michael Ouweleen is the American television writer best known for the animated television series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. He is the current President of Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang. 
He was a long-time creative director at the network since 1996, and ran content development and oversaw programming for CN in the mid-2000s.
In 2014, Ouweleen was named CMO of Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang at Turner Broadcasting System. In November 27, 2019, Ouweleen became the interim President of Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang due to the departure of Christina Miller. His stint as head of the division ended on July 1, 2020 with the appointment of Tom Ascheim to the position; he became President of Adult Swim at that point, reporting to Ascheim. 
In May 2022, following WarnerMedia's merger with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery the month prior, Tom Ascheim's role was eliminated and Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang were moved into Warner Bros. Discovery Networks U.S., with Michael Ouweleen gaining oversight to Cartoon Network and Boomerang once again after one year and ten months. He then extended Adult Swim's hours by it starting at 7PM.https://deadline.com/2023/03/adult-swim-unicorn-warriors-eternal-animation-warner-bros-discovery-1235311351/
