Boat Rocker Studios has promoted Gia DeLaney to senior VP of global sales for kids and family.

Based in the New York office, DeLaney will be responsible for the worldwide distribution of the studio’s kids’ and family slate that includes Kingdom Force, Dino Ranch, Remy & Boo, Love Monster, The Next Step and The Strange Chores, in addition to the Boat Rocker Kids & Family library.
