eOne Television Bolsters International Operations

LONDON/LOS ANGELES: Entertainment One (eOne) Television International is extending its sales and distribution arm and restructuring its team as part of its efforts to drive the division's next phase of growth.

Stuart Baxter, the president of eOne Television International, is leading these new efforts. The reorganization will bring film and TV content sales to traditional broadcasters and new media partners together in a number of core eOne markets under single leadership and will support the strategic placement of new hires in major markets throughout the coming year. Charlotte Thorp, the head of television sales and business development, will now oversee all U.K. sales efforts to traditional broadcasters and new media partners, reporting to both Alex Hamilton (the managing director of eOne Films U.K.) for film and Baxter for television. Joey Sabella, the director of sales, will lead eOne’s U.S. sales efforts, reporting to Larry Greenberg (the senior VP of acquisitions at eOne Films U.S.) for film and Baxter. Audrey Gardiner, eOne Films Canada's VP of television and digital, will lead sales in Canada, reporting to Bryan Gliserman (the president of eOne Films Canada) for film and Baxter.

“Our new approach will enable us to retain our strength in being dynamic, flexible and transparent while adding infrastructure and processes that will help us maximize efficiencies and opportunities for our production and broadcast clients,” said Baxter. “More and more, we are combining our strengths in film and TV to better coordinate and support all of our clients,” said Baxter.

Baxter also announced that Graham Spencer has joined as sales director for eOne Television International, to cover Tess Charman’s maternity leave, managing sales in Central Europe, Africa, Middle East and Russia.

“We are delighted to welcome Graham to the team. I have known Graham for many years and his business acumen and relationships across Europe will be very valuable as we continue in our growth,” Baxter added.
