ITV Studios America promotes exec to SVP of production

Joey Kern

ITV Studios (ITVS) America has promoted Joey Kern to SVP of production.

Kern joined the company in 2019 to work across series production and assist communication between productions and the studio and network. He previously served in production management roles at IFC and VH1.

ITVS America has also hired Showtime Networks exec Dave Macesich as SVP of finance. He held the same position at Showtime, where he oversaw all financial aspects of the company’s scripted, unscripted, theatrical and sports programming.

The company has additionally promoted Kimberly Rosenblum to SVP of business and legal affairs. She previously served as VP in the same role, acting as a negotiator for the company, handling deals with writers, producers, performers, directors and co-production partners and overseeing business and legal affairs on the company’s scripted slate.

Both Kern and Rosenblum were promoted into their previous roles at the same time in January of last year.

“With the addition of Dave, we are fortunate to continue our team’s growth with another highly accomplished and well-respected leader joining an already incredible team of executives, including Joey and Kimberly – both of whom continue to exemplify ultimate professionalism and who are held in high regard within ITV and throughout the industry,” said ITVS president Philippe Maigret.
