Wheelhouse, the media and investment firm created by producer Brent Montgomery and late-night television star Jimmy Kimmel, has hired Ann Berry to run its new deals division as it seeks more transactions in consumer and technology companies.
Berry, 39, joins Wheelhouse from New York-based Cornell Capital, the private equity firm founded by former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. partner Henry Cornell. Berry, a Goldman alum, will oversee the new Wheelhouse Ventures arm, the company said in a statement Thursday.
