VIS Kids Grows Leadership Team

Chris Rose, who is currently VP of production and development for Nickelodeon International, has expanded his remit to include serving as VP of production and development for VIS Kids.

In his expanded role, Rose will focus on growing ViacomCBS Networks International’s kids’ content pipeline, leading the animation and live-action development and production teams for VIS Kids and Nickelodeon International.

He will spearhead production development initiatives across the U.K. and align closely with the studio’s production and development teams across Latin America, EMEAA and Israel. Based in London, Rose will report to Nina Hahn, head of VIS Kids and senior VP of production and development for Nickelodeon International.

Charly Valentine, VP of live-action production and development for Nickelodeon International, will report to Rose. The team has also expanded with the hire of Adam Bailey as manager of animation production and development for Nickelodeon International, who will support Rose in identifying new IP and talent for the brand.

Rose said: “It’s a privilege to now lead the development and production of live-action and animated content for VIS Kids and Nickelodeon International. As we continue our legacy of building first-class kids content, I look forward to deepening existing relationships and seizing new opportunities to work with innovative, diverse creators and producers in the UK kids content sphere and around the world.”

Hahn commented: “We are focused on establishing VIS Kids as a world-class kids content powerhouse as we continue to create and source prime content for our brands and partners, across all formats. We are a proven leader in this space and an expert in the ‘hit-making’ process, and I’m confident Chris’s newly expanded role will bring a wealth of knowledge to our studio business as we further establish ourselves in the kids’ arena.”
