Cyma Zarghami is stepping down as president of Viacom’s Nickelodeon Group, after working at the network for more than three decades.<\/p>\n

Zarghami first joined Nickelodeon in 1985 and became its president in 2006. She helped the channel become a leading global brand for kids offering linear and multiplatform content, movies, live experiences and consumer products.\u00a0Sarah Levy, chief operating officer at Viacom Media Networks, will oversee the brand on an interim basis until a replacement for\u00a0Zarghami is found.<\/p>\n

Bob Bakish, the president and CEO of Viacom, commented: “Over the course of her career, Cyma has played an integral role in growing Nickelodeon into the dominant force in kids’ entertainment. Her instincts for creating content and experiences that kids love have been vital to the brand’s success around the world. Looking to the future, we are excited to build on this strong foundation as we continue to evolve the business and connect with young audiences in new and innovative ways. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Cyma for her leadership and wish her every success.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
