LONDON: Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has promoted James Currell to the role of executive VP, managing director of VIMN UK, Northern and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Currell has been serving as COO, with those responsibilities to be taken over by Channel 5\u2019s Paul Dunthorne. Currell will have management oversight of all of Viacom\u2019s media networks and related businesses in 33 European countries. Currell will report to David Lynn, whom he replaces at the top of Viacom\u2019s U.K.-led operations, following Lynn\u2019s promotion to become president and CEO of VIMN.<\/p>\n

Lynn commented: \u201cJames has been integral to the stellar growth of our operations managed out of the U.K., both before and after our acquisition of Channel 5. He\u2019s relentlessly strategic and inquisitive and has a fine understanding of the different needs of all our brands; I couldn\u2019t be happier to have an executive of his caliber to promote from within and I look forward to working with him and Paul to continue developing the exciting momentum we\u2019ve built in our business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currell added: \u201cViacom has transformed its U.K. presence and grown its footprint across Europe by increasing investment in quality local content and adopting an innovative approach to partnership and to the way our brands work together. I\u2019m excited by the growth opportunities that exist in mature and emerging European markets, given Viacom\u2019s scale and the enduring influence of our brands on TV and, increasingly, online.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
