Aaron D. Harberts (born 20 January 1973; age 51) is a writer and producer who was one of the executive producers of Star Trek: Discovery. Together with his writing partner Gretchen J. Berg, he took over as Discovery's showrunner in October 2016, after Bryan Fuller had stepped down from this function.

He and Berg were removed from the position of executive producer halfway through production of the show's second season, being replaced by Alex Kurtzman. [2]
