Ashley Holland ’04 is senior vice president of Scripted Series at Onyx Collective, a premium content brand under Disney Entertainment that focuses on artists of color and underrepresented voices with programming exclusively available to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. She leads the development and production of Onyx Collective’s scripted series and specials across all programming categories and formats and oversees the department’s day-to-day operations.

 

Ashley joined Onyx Collective in 2022 from WME, where she was a partner who represented Prentice Penny and Ryan Coogler (both with Onyx Collective overall deals), as well as top-level talent like Halle Berry, Janelle Monae, Mara Brock Akil, Riz Ahmed, and more. She was intimately involved in the selling of shows like HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show and Starz’s P-Valley, and she was instrumental to WME’s growth as a company to develop its next generation of leaders and their diversity and inclusion efforts. Ashley also worked intimately with independent studio clients like Media Res (The Morning Show) and Macro TV Studios (Raising Dion). She started her career at CAA, where she spent eight years rising through the ranks to agent in the television department and helped spearhead initiatives like CAA Amplify that champion connectivity for high-level, diverse executives and influencers.
