Born in Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended primary school, John O'Donnell attended high school in Seoul, Korea, prior to entering Yale University, where he graduated with a B.A. degree in Japanese Studies. Following a year of advanced Japanese language studies at Stanford University's Inter-University Language Center in Tokyo, Mr. O'Donnell obtained an M.B.A. degree from the Harvard Business School, with a specialization in International Marketing and Finance.
Upon graduation from business school, Mr. O'Donnell was hired by Mr. Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony, as the first non-Japanese "seishain" of the Sony Corporation's Tokyo headquarters.

In 1989, Mr. O'Donnell left Sony to co-found Central Park Media Corporation, the leading distributor of Japanese anime programming in North America.

CPM was also one of the first US companies to publish English language translations of Japanese manga and Korean manhwa (graphic novels), a field in which it is an acknowledged leader.
