Michael Ouweleen (born 1967) is an American media executive and screenwriter who currently serves as the sixth and current president of The Cartoon Network, Inc. (Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang) since May 11, 2022. A long-time creative director at Cartoon Network since 1996, he ran the network's content development and oversaw its programming in the mid-2000s. He co-created the animated television series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and its spin-off, Birdgirl and is the executive producer of the 2006 television film Re-Animated. Ouweleen is married with three sons. Ouweleen was named as the company's CMO in 2014 and got promoted to interim president in addition to Turner Classic Movies on November 27, 2019, due to the departure of Christina Miller. His stint as interim president ended on July 1, 2020 with the appointment of Tom Ascheim permanently to the position and Ouweleen took the presidency of Adult Swim. Following the Warner Bros. Discovery merger in May 2022, Tom Ascheim departed the company and the divisions under The Cartoon Network, Inc. (Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang) were moved into Warner Bros. Discovery Networks U.S., with Ouweleen regaining oversight of the company after one year and ten months. He has also gained the role of president for Discovery Family. In June 2023, Ouweleen gained the Business side of TCM, following another wave of layoffs at the Television section of Warner Bros. Discovery including the General Manager and President, Pola Changnon.
