FIC Shifts Executive Structure in Europe & Africa

LONDON: FOX International Channels (FIC) has put in place a new organizational structure for the company's team in Europe and Africa, under the leadership of Jesús Perezagua.

The new structure sees the business being divided into four structured entities, with newly upped executive VPs for each.

Diego Londono, a 16-year veteran of FIC who also serves as COO for Europe and Africa, assumes responsibility as president of Western and Northern Europe. His oversight includes the U.K., Italy, Germany and the Nordic region.

Carlos Ortega, who has been serving as the general manager of Central Europe for the past four years, becomes the executive VP of Central and Eastern Europe, charged with managment for the Central European countries as well as Russia, the Balkans, Baltic republics and Eurasia.

Adam Theiler, who has been the general manager for several European FIC markets during his 11-year tenure with the company, becomes executive VP of Southern Europe and Africa. His remit spans Iberia, Turkey, Greece and Africa.

Adrian Herzkovich, who has been with the company for 15 years, serving as general manager of Argentina and most recently of FIC Netherlands, takes on the post of executive VP of Benelux and France.

“FIC has grown incredibly fast and has become a global leader in entertainment. We hold an enviable position in Europe and Africa, but at the same time recognize that in order to grow our business, we need to adjust to meet the demands of an increasingly complex business and organization,” said Perezagua, the president of FOX International Channels Europe and Africa. “Diego, Carlos, Adam and Adrian have each tirelessly contributed to FIC’s exponential growth. Their extensive track record, business acumen and dedication make them the perfect set of senior managers to take us to the next level.”
