Fox Entertainment has restructured its operations. Going forward, it will have a three-pillar structure consisting of studio operations, linear and streaming platforms, and worldwide sales and licensing.
Under this change, Fernando Szew and Michael Thorn have been given new senior leadership roles. Szew will head Fox Entertainment Studios, and Thorn will lead Fox Television Network. Both will report directly to Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade.
Allison Wallach’s role has expanded. She will now oversee global unscripted programming for Fox Entertainment Studios under Szew’s leadership.
The worldwide content sales unit for Fox Entertainment Global will be led on an interim basis by executive vice president Tony Vassiliadis, who will report directly to Wade. Vassiliadis will continue to run Fox Entertainment Global until a new leader is named. Afterward, he will transition into a new senior role at the company.
Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade stated in a press release that under the new structure, every division of Fox Entertainment is now positioned for growth and creative excellence as they cater to audiences worldwide.
Fernando Szew, the founding partner and CEO of MarVista Entertainment and Fox Entertainment Global, will be responsible for consolidating all of the network’s studio business engines globally. This includes Bento Box Entertainment, Fox Alternative Entertainment, Fox’s scripted studios, MarVista Entertainment, Studio Ramsay Global, and TMZ. It also encompasses series created for various third-party platforms, such as Prime Video, Apple TV+, Hulu, and Netflix.
Thorn, previously the president of scripted programming for Fox Entertainment, will work closely with Szew to manage the network’s scripted, unscripted, and casting teams. These teams are led by various executives including Brooke Bowman, Cheryl Dolins, Yasmin Rawji, and Brittainy Roberts.
