Zodiak poaches Janet Robinson from ITV Studios

Zodiak Rights has recruited Janet Robinson as VP of sales & acquisitions, North America.

She joins after a seven year tenure with ITV Studios Global Entertainment where she worked out of both the LA and London offices.

At Zodiak Rights, the sales arm of Zodiak Media, she will focus on finished programme sales across the US and Canada for all Zodiak Rights non-scripted titles.

Based in Zodiak’s LA office, she will report in to Glen Hansen, senior VP sales, acquisitions & coproductions, North America and will work alongside him on all North American acquisition-related activities.

Hansen will continue to handle sales on the scripted and format side.

He said: “Janet’s knowledge and experience managing sales revenues for strong entertainment and factual brands will be invaluable as we expand our business activities in North America.”
