\n\tBBC Studios<\/a> is beginning the search for a new London-based president of global content sales following its decision to relocate the role to London. As part of the transition, New York-based Janet Brown, the current president of global content sales, has chosen not to relocate to the U.K. and \u201cwill instead pursue new opportunities outside BBC Studios<\/a>,\u201d the commercial arm of British public broadcaster BBC. She will remain with the company until April to ensure a smooth handover. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe move of the role to London is designed to \u201cfurther strengthen the company\u2019s unified global approach to content sales and production,\u201d BBC Studios said. \u201cThe relocated role will work more closely with BBC Studios Productions\u2019 CEO and chief creative officer Zai Bennett<\/a>, its genre managing directors and global production leads, overseeing all markets globally, including the U.K.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tBrown joined BBC Studios in 2022 from Gunpowder & Sky as president of content distribution for North America and Latin America, \u201cdriving significant growth, innovation, and strategic direction across those regions,\u201d the company said. \u201cIn October 2024, she stepped into the global role, centralizing and streamlining operations, leading content investment, and catalyzing business development across key customers worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSaid Bennett: \u201cThis strategic change looks to the future and will support us building a truly unified content studio that combines world-class production with global sales excellence. Janet has made an indelible contribution to our business, we are deeply grateful for her leadership and commitment \u2013 and wish her every success in her next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
