Former ITV Studios executive David Wilcox has joined Fifth Season as its senior VP of EMEA sales.

“I’m delighted to join Fifth Season at this exciting stage of accelerated growth,” said Wilcox. “The ambitious team has a creative approach to distribution and a reputation for delivering best-in-class content, and I look forward to driving new opportunities with EMEA partners to amplify the success of the premium slate.”

Wilcox spent seven years at ITV Studios, leading the content sales team and pre-sale and co-production strategies. In his new role, Wilcox will be responsible for driving EMEA sales across Fifth Season’s content slate, leading the regional sales team and identifying new commercial opportunities across linear, digital and co-productions.

Jennifer Ebell, executive VP of television distribution at Fifth Season, said: “David joins Fifth Season at a pivotal moment in our growth story, as we scale our global reach and build on our track record of success. His deep experience and strong relationships across EMEA make him the perfect choice to drive our ambitions in these key markets. Alongside Travis and Alistair, who are expanding their own remits into new areas, David strengthens an exceptional leadership team dedicated to cementing Fifth Season’s position as a global leader in premium content.”
