Dansker will be the executive VP of global licensing and international distribution, and Gagliardi will be the executive VP of North American digital distribution. They will report to Johnny Holden, chief revenue and strategy officer.

Dansker will lead international distribution, TVOD, global licensing and sales efforts to expand the company’s footprint of international FAST and AVOD partners and oversee global expansion platform partnerships in new markets. Dansker previously served as senior VP of streaming and content strategy at Shout! Studios.

Gagliardi will oversee licensing to North American digital platforms, programming and distributing 98 O&O FAST channels to 750+ endpoints, and distributing dozens of Radial O&O apps globally. Previously, Gagliardi served as the executive VP of global streaming distribution and strategy at FilmRise, overseeing the company’s AVOD, SVOD and FAST partnerships and award-winning FAST channels.

“Radial is entering a period of strategic momentum, driven by innovation and strong leadership,” said Holden. “Julie and Daniel have built distinguished careers in the entertainment industry by driving strategic partnerships, sales, and distribution with major studios, streaming platforms, and broadcasters. They bring the leadership, expertise, and energy needed to accelerate growth and refine strategies for success in sales and distribution across platforms worldwide.
