Fox Entertainment Global, the international distribution arm of the U.S. broadcaster, is continuing to staff up.
The company has hired former Sony Pictures exec Matt Hanna as SVP, Sales, Americas.
Reporting to Prentiss Fraser, President, Fox Entertainment Global, Hanna will lead the company’s licensing and distribution strategy across U.S., Canada and Latin America.
Hanna spent nearly 20 years at Sony, where he was most recently SVP, Global Distribution, overseeing multi-territory and global film and television licensing deals. Before joining Sony, he was an associate at Latham & Watkins.
Last month, the company hired Peter Grant as VP, Sales, Germany, France and the Nordic. In August, it hired Fifth Season’s Liz Tang to UK content and acquisitions.
This comes after Fraser joined the company in January, two years after Fox launched the global sales division.
“Matt’s proven track record in driving sales and forging partnerships will be instrumental as we expand our programming reach across the Americas,” said Fraser. “His strategic insights, strong relationships, and passion for the industry make him an invaluable addition to our executive team.”
