Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has appointed Maria Kyriacou, who is currently the president of international at ITV Studios, to head its pan-regional operations managed out of the U.K.<\/p>\n

In the role of president for VIMN UK, Northern and Eastern Europe, Kyriacou will have oversight of all its media networks and related businesses in 33 European countries, including Channel 5 in the U.K. Kyriacou will report to David Lynn, president and CEO of VIMN.<\/p>\n

Lynn commented: \u201cMaria has led the international expansion of ITV\u2019s studios business and her track record of growing international revenues from production, content licensing and distribution at both ITV and Disney means she is ideally equipped to head our operations managed out of the U.K. Her experience of acquiring, integrating and managing creative businesses and her deep knowledge of the international television market will add a valuable perspective to our fast-evolving U.K. operations and I\u2019m delighted to welcome her to the team. She will take the helm at an exciting time, with the merger to form ViacomCBS set to confirm us as one of the world\u2019s most important content producers and providers and to open up new opportunities to license our brands, content and IP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyriacou added: \u201cI am incredibly excited to be joining David and the team. With the strength and breadth of its brands and its extensive reach, VIMN is in a great place to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the dynamism of our industry. I\u2019m looking forward to being part of this exciting future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Kyriacou is serving as the president of international at ITV Studios, overseeing its international production business, global drama strategy and worldwide distribution arm, ITV Studios Global Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
