ITV Studios rejigs global partnerships, ups sales chief Tom Clark & co-pro exec Jemma Harvey
ITV Studios (ITVS) has rejigged the management team at its global partnerships team with Tom Clark and Jemma Harvey both taking on new roles.
Former Disney exec Clark, who joined ITVS from Airbnb in October as EVP of commercial strategy, takes on the expanded role of EVP of global sales & commercial strategy with a remit to oversee sales and three regional EVPs.
These are: Gisela Aismus Minnbergh for EMEA; Augustus Dulgaro for APAC; and the current Americas vacancy formerly held by Greg Johnson, who joined Cineflix in February. He will also be the point man for Jurian van der Meer, EVP of brand licensing, while Clark reports into MD, Ruth Berry.
Harvey, who left BBC Studios to join ITVS as its SVP of global content in July 2022, expands her responsibilities to become SVP of scripted global content and co-productions, continuing to report to EVP of global content, Julie Meldal-Johnsen.
She will work alongside Kate Barnes, who continues to lead the scripted team as SVP of scripted, and will be responsible for leading the co-production strategy and sales globally, working closely with the LA and London sales teams.
She will also oversee the strategic global roll out of ITVS’s drama slate and collaborate on other strategic initiatives.
Berry said: “Tom has a huge amount of invaluable industry experience and is already driving the business further forward. Jemma is a brilliant and highly regarded executive with both producers and broadcasters around the world and is already out securing and nurturing co-productions.”
