Zodiak’s Lagewaard exits for Strix

Strix Holland has hired Tatiana Lagewaard as creative director.

She joins production company Strix from Zodiak Nederland, the Dutch division of Zodiak Media, where she was head of development.

The move reunites her with Roy Aalderink, who was CEO of Zodiak Nederland until March this year when he landed the role of Strix Holland chief exec. Fox International Channels executive Peter Lubbers replaced him at Zodiak.

Strix is part of MTG-owned Nice Entertainment and at the Dutch division of the company Lagewaard will manage the creative team and the prodco’s development activities. She will also oversee the adaptation of international formats for the Dutch TV market.

Lagewaard, who has also worked at Eyeworks and Eyeworks International, said: “Strix is an ambitious company and produces high quality hit shows such as Survivor. Hopefully I will be able to add some new titles to their slate in the upcoming years.”

Aalderink added: “Strix and Nice Entertainment group will benefit from the arrival of Tatiana, who has an excellent creative track record and a great knowledge of international television.
