Crunchyroll Leadership & Management

Crunchyroll’s leaders demonstrate that effective leadership can take many forms. Employees describe being inspired by leaders who lead with empathy, inclusivity and authenticity, creating an environment where individuals feel empowered to develop their own leadership approach and grow professionally.

“It has been invigorating for me to see the different leadership styles of female leaders at Funimation and Crunchyroll. An early experience where a female VP went out of her way to deliver a thank you in person opened my eyes to the possibility of creating my own leadership style based on kindness and inclusiveness. It was such a small thing, but a moment that stands out in my memory as one of the first where I said, ‘Leadership can look like this. This is the kind of leader I want to be.’”

Crunchyroll employees are inspired by leaders who demonstrate both confidence and empathy, showing that strong leadership can be effective while remaining authentic and supportive. Through mentorship and guidance, leaders help employees navigate professional challenges, develop management skills and build confidence in their own leadership journeys.

“The most influential woman leader in my career has been my current manager and head of our department, Anna Songco Adamian. Anna has been my longest-serving manager and has been a pivotal role model in showing me how to navigate the flows and eddies of people management, of consumer products, and of being a female professional. Confident and empathetic, Anna has been a guiding star in my career.”

Crunchyroll’s leaders help foster an environment where employees can see themselves reflected in positions of influence and decision-making. By prioritizing representation and empowering diverse voices, leadership sets the tone for an inclusive culture and creates opportunities for future leaders to grow and succeed.

“Crunchyroll has also proven their support and empowerment of women at the company by example — half of the leaders on Crunchyroll’s senior management team are women. I feel privileged to work for a company that walks the walk by having gender equity on the leadership team. Those of us who help lead CRWN are here to ensure that trend trickles down to benefit other women within the greater company.”
