New Management Structure for Every Cloud Productions

Every Cloud Productions Co-Founders Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger are stepping back from day-to-day operations at the company, putting in place a new management structure.

Cox and Eagger will continue in advisory roles. Every Cloud is behind such hits as Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries and A Sunburnt Christmas.

Drew Grove, Mike Jones and Shraddha Gatiya will now become partners at Every Cloud. Grove, head of business affairs, has been appointed as CEO, with Jones as head of content and Gatiya as finance director.

Eagger said, “Deb and I are thrilled to be handing over the reins to our trusted team who have been such an important part of the company’s success. Succession planning is important, and we are excited to infuse our beloved company with new energy and vitality as we devolve our responsibilities to an advisory capacity, whilst retaining rights and roles in our key properties.”

Cox said, “As a company, we’ve always sought to increase female representation on screen as well as behind the camera and to create screen career opportunities in regional communities. We think it’s equally important to support new talent to step into leadership roles and to provide mentoring and business opportunities to the next generation of screen creatives. It’s exciting to know that Every Cloud will continue in the very capable hands of Drew, Mike and Shraddha.

“As well as our colleagues in the company, we’ve had the good fortune to work with great people in our industry, and we thank them all for their support, collaboration and brilliance. We’d particularly like to thank and acknowledge Film Victoria, Screen NSW and Screen Australia, as well the other State funding agencies, who do so much to foster and support companies such as ours,” she continued.

Grove said, “It’s an exciting time for screen production in Australia, and Mike, Shraddha and I—with Deb and Fiona’s support—will take advantage of expanding market opportunities while continuing to further exploit the company’s existing and very successful suite of brands, including both Miss Fisher and Ms Fisher series. We have an exciting development slate and are looking forward to seeing these terrific projects on-screen.”
