He will also take a seat on Fremantle\u2019s global operating board. Andreae succeeds Liam Humphreys, who has stepped down from his role as CEO of Fremantle UK.<\/p>\n<p>Fremantle had acquired a minority stake in the unscripted startup in 2015 and will now have 100 percent ownership, with Naked\u2019s COO Susie Dark and Creative Director Tom O\u2019Brien assuming the day-to-day running of the business.<\/p>\n<p>Andreae said: \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the brand we\u2019ve built at Naked and am looking forward to supporting both them and Fremantle\u2019s other world-class production labels as we shape a truly creative, collaborative and future-facing studio group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mullin commented: \u201cI am thrilled that Simon will helm our U.K. business. Simon knows how to make great content and has a terrific track-record in taking bold risks to create ambitious shows. He\u2019s an inspiring, inclusive leader and brings an enormous amount of energy and creativity. I can\u2019t wait to see what he creates in this new role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mullin added: \u201cLiam joined us to focus on creative renewal across our U.K. unscripted labels and our recent award wins are testament to his success. I would like to thank Liam for his leadership and great contribution over the last three years and wish him well for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humphreys said: \u201cI\u2019ve had a wonderful time at Fremantle, it\u2019s been a privilege to lead Boundless, Talkback and Thames working with some of the best production teams in the business. I feel now is the right time for me to return to a closer relationship with content which is where I have my most ambitious plans. I wish Fremantle every success with their next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fremantle has bought 100 percent of Naked Television and appointed founder Simon Andreae as CEO for its U.K. business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1482,1877,158],"class_list":["post-7518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fremantle","tag-naked-television","tag-simon-andreae","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
