Bondi will spearhead BGM’s development strategy and oversee its production slate. Previously, she was the executive VP of production and programming and head of development of Canada for Cineflix.<\/p>\n
Bondi has executive-producer credits on productions such as Girl Scout Cookie Championship<\/em>, Property Brothers<\/em>, Flipping Virgins<\/em>, Hours to Kill<\/em>, Bizarre Murders<\/em>, Food Factory<\/em>, Home Factory<\/em> and Style Factory<\/em>. Prior to joining Cineflix, she worked for CBC and Discovery Channel, where she produced, directed and wrote for a variety of series, including CBC\u2019s All-Star Comedy Homecoming Special<\/em> with the Royal Canadian Air Farce troupe.<\/p>\n In her new role at BGM, Bondi will report to Marlo Miazga, president. She takes over from Sean Connolly.<\/p>\n \u201cKim is joining us for her next adventure at the top of her game\u2014and that\u2019s a very impressive game indeed,\u201d said Miazga. \u201cShe\u2019s one of those rare creatives who can do it all. She\u2019s a genuine leader who makes great content, but she also has the ability to inspire loyalty, respect and affection. In short, she\u2019s a cosmic force! I\u2019ve known Kim for over a decade, and I\u2019ve wanted to work with her from the first day we met. Now, I finally get to.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve watched Marlo and her team transform BGM into one of Canada\u2019s most exciting factual producers, with a growing international reputation for premium unscripted content,\u201d Bondi said. \u201cTo join BGM at this point in its life cycle and to help chart its creative course is an irresistible challenge. My time with Cineflix has been massively rewarding and has taught me a huge amount, not only about the business but about my own aspirations. I know that BGM will give me the chance to explore and expand my creative horizons\u2014and I can\u2019t wait to start.\u201d<\/p>\n Miazga added, \u201cWe\u2019re sad to say goodbye to our friend Sean Connolly. He\u2019s been an amazing collaborator and partner in crime for these past five years and has stood steady through all the challenges, changes and transitions that have led BGM to its present position on the global marketplace. Exciting adventures lie ahead for Sean, and we look forward to continuing our creative relationship with him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Canadian content-creation company BGM has tapped Cineflix Productions alum Kim Bondi as senior VP of development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4662],"class_list":["post-17604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bgm","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
