Co-Founder, Executive Vice President & Senior Producer
Before helping to create The Documentary Group, Kayce Jennings was Vice President of PJ Productions and also senior producer on documentaries including State of the Union and Out of Control: AIDS in Black America, a recipient of the George S. Peabody Award.
Kayce began her career in the early 1980s at ABC News in London. It was there that she first worked with Peter Jennings and Tom Yellin. A producer for Nightline, she covered Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In 1986, she relocated to ABC News’ Atlanta Bureau, where she concentrated on the southern United States, the Caribbean, Latin America and national politics. Two years later, when World News Tonight with Peter Jennings launched its ground-breaking series, "The American Agenda," Kayce was one of its pioneering producers, focusing on social policy issues. The work received numerous awards.
She moved back to New York City in 1989 and, in 1993, re-joined Tom Yellin as a producer on his prime time news magazine Day One. When Day One ended its run, Kayce moved to 20/20, working with anchor Barbara Walters and correspondents Lynn Sherr, Deborah Roberts, Bob Brown, among others. She left ABC News to help found PJ Productions and then, in 2006, TDG.
Kayce also has deep connections to the not-for-profit world and has worked closely with The Coalition for the Homeless, Teach for America, Concern Worldwide, Veritas Therapeutic Community, among other organizations. She serves on the board of directors of Women In Need, Inc., and The Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. In 2007 she was appointed to the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commission for New York City's First Judicial District.
Kayce was married to Peter Jennings, and is co-editor of the recently published oral biography Peter Jennings: A Reporter's Life.
She graduated from Brown University and attended graduate school at the London School of Economics.
