In his new role, Dalton will be responsible for ITVS GE\u2019s worldwide formats strategy, including building on the company\u2019s current production partners and identifying new opportunities internationally. Dalton previously served as regional sales director at Endemol Shine Group, where he was in charge of licensing scripted and non-scripted formats, as well as ancillary content from the company\u2019s IP, across more than 20 markets in Central and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Ella Umansky has been promoted to the post of head of formats support at ITV Studios. Umansky joined ITV Studios in 2013.

Both Dalton and Umansky will report to Mike Beale, the managing director for the Nordics and global creative network at ITV Studios.

It will allow us to really build on our collaborative potential worldwide and, together with Ella, will ensure that our creative teams are aligned with our distribution approach and vice versa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need a constant dialogue with key stakeholders across the business to ensure that the formats sold are properly supported and given the best opportunity for success, and this new setup will help us to facilitate it.\u201d<\/p>\n
