Hilary Strong, formerly CEO of Agatha Christie Limited, is joining Bob & Co as CEO.<\/p>\n

Strong will focus on\u00a0developing the company\u2019s existing production slate. She will also be\u00a0spearheading its investments\u00a0into a new\u00a0literary estates business.<\/p>\n

Bob Benton, the president and founder of Bob & Co, said, \u201cWith over 20 years in the industry Hilary Strong has an impeccable business pedigree and the ability to straddle both the commercial and creative space effectively in a global market. Her track record at Hat Trick, Chorion and most recently Agatha Christie Limited consolidated her position as the perfect choice to take Bob & Co to the next stage of the business\u2019s development. Our joint ambition is to make Bob & Co the go-to media production and investment group, where the best talent can create the most engaging and entertaining content across all our businesses areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strong added,\u00a0\u201cI am excited to be taking on the role of CEO at Bob & Co at a time the industry is seeing a genuine convergence and cross fertilization between media platforms. Bob Benton is a visionary who has pulled together outstanding production talent across scripted, unscripted, digital and theater production and combined their businesses with a highly active\u00a0media investment fund. In addition to the current production and finance business, we will be\u00a0investing in a new rights ownership business, which will be acquiring literary estates.\u00a0This\u00a0will be supported by, and will feed into, our existing production businesses across all platforms. To have this opportunity within a single group is rare and extremely exciting; I look forward to taking the businesses forward and the storytelling that will ensue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
