Bristow Global Media (BGM) has named Sean Connolly to the new position of VP of development for the company’s unscripted content.

Connolly will focus on creating original formats for the world and tailoring international formats for North America. In addition, he will have an immediate focus on expanding BGM’s business into the U.S. Connolly joined BGM’s executive team as a development consultant in May 2017. Since then—working directly with Marlo Miazga, VP of content for BGM—he has been responsible for greenlighting It’s My Party for Canada’s TVO and Haunted Hospitals.

“Sean’s extensive background in nurturing successful unscripted series and formats comes at a perfect time as BGM’s continues to grow its strength in this internationally important genre,” said Julie Bristow, the president of Bristow Global Media.
