Ally Maldonado

Chief of Staff

Ally Maldonado

Ally Maldonado is the newly appointed Chief of Staff at WV Entertainment — though she’s no rookie when it comes to Team Wilmer. Before making it official, Ally spent four years behind the scenes (and sometimes on the carpet) as part of his publicity team at Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis. Prior to that, she cut her teeth at NEWCO Strategies, helping advise campaigns, organizations, and brands on how to be louder, smarter, and interesting. A Cal State Fullerton alum, coffee loyalist, sushi purist, and always ready to rewatch a 2000s rom-com.

Leo Klemm

Head of Podcasts

WV Sound

Leo Klemm

Leo has been with WV Entertainment for over a decade—long enough to witness the company’s transformation, and probably memorize everyone’s go-to lunch orders and still forget his own. In 2021, he helped establish WV Sound alongside Wilmer, bringing their vision for captivating audio experiences to life. Now, he’s all about creating shows that grab attention, innovate, and have listeners hitting replay. When he’s not dreaming up podcasts, you can find him in his garden or hanging out with his dog, Omelette, who’s an expert at stealing hearts and snacks.

She began working for the company in 2021 as an assistant to both departments, and has worked her way up over the years. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she braved the cold and studied Film & Television at Boston University. A Celsius enthusiast (not spon), matcha snob, and pop culture fanatic, she’s always down to dish and keeps our development heads grounded.
