Brian Eule is the President and CEO of the Heising-Simons Foundation, beginning his tenure in January 2026 and returning to an organization where he spent nearly a decade earlier in his career.

Most recently, Eule served as Managing Director of FRONTLINE on PBS, one of the nation’s most respected investigative journalism series, where he oversaw business operations and strategic planning amid a rapidly evolving media landscape. He was part of a team that won multiple Emmy Awards and a Peabody in the News Category.

From 2015 to 2024, he served as Director of Journalism and Communications at the Heising-Simons Foundation, where he created and directed the foundation’s journalism grantmaking and launched the American Mosaic Journalism Prize — the largest journalism prize in the United States, awarding two freelance journalists $100,000 annually for excellence in reporting on underrepresented and misrepresented groups in America.

Earlier in his career, he was a program officer at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and Director of Communications at the James Irvine Foundation.

Eule has been a visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and is the author of the nonfiction book  Match Day: One Day and One Dramatic Year in the Lives of Three New Doctors.
