Camilla Hammer Named CEO of Shine International

LONDON: Modern Times Group (MTG) exec Camilla Hammer has been appointed as the CEO of Shine Group’s sales and distribution division, Shine International.

Hammer will be based in London, following Shine’s recent relocation from Los Angeles. She will lead an international team of 42, responsible for the exploitation of worldwide intellectual property rights from both the Shine Group and independent producers and networks through formats and tape sales. She will report to Alex Mahon, the president of Shine Group.

Hammer most recently held the position of senior VP of acquisitions at MTG, serving the company for 12 years. She was responsible for managing acquisitions for all MTG’s pay- and free-TV linear channels and on demand business, as well as the company’s recent co-finance ventures and channel partnerships.

Mahon said: “Camilla’s experience is extensive and spans many territories. She will bring to the role knowledge and multiple perspectives from all aspects of content acquisition and distribution, skills which will enable her to both complement and lead the Shine International team. As we relocate and refocus the business, we look forward to her joining us and spearheading Shine International in their next phase.”
