BBC Studios Seeks New London-Based President of Global Content Sales

BBC Studios is on the lookout for a new London-based president of global content sales as it relocates the role to London. The current president, Janet Brown, based in New York, has decided not to move to the U.K. and will be exploring new opportunities outside BBC Studios. She will stay with the company until April to ensure a smooth transition. The move aims to enhance the company's global content sales and production strategy by working closely with BBC Studios Productions' CEO, Zai Bennett, and other key executives to oversee all markets worldwide, including the U.K.

Janet Brown joined BBC Studios in 2022 from Gunpowder & Sky and has played a significant role in driving growth and innovation in content distribution for North America and Latin America. In October 2024, she took on the global role, streamlining operations, leading content investment, and driving business development across key markets globally. Zai Bennett expressed gratitude for Janet's leadership and contribution to the business, wishing her success in her future endeavors.

BBC Studios is known for its popular content such as Bluey, Doctor Who, Top Gear, Ghosts, Happy Valley, and Strictly Come Dancing. The decision to relocate the president of global content sales to London is part of a strategic move to create a unified content studio that combines top-notch production with global sales excellence. The company is confident that this change will support its future growth and success in the industry.
