Simon and Jonathan Chinn’s Lightbox has made a raft of changes to its leadership team amid its continued growth.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Tovell, previously chief operating officer, has been named managing director, while Suzanne Lavery has become creative director, overseeing all U.K.-based documentary series. Ben Samuel has also been promoted to creative director, managing the company\u2019s development across the U.K. and U.S. offices.<\/p>\n

Polly Allen has been promoted to head of production for the U.K. Gabby Peeters has been upped to VP and head of development for the UK, while Alexis Gomez-Garcia has added head of development for the U.S. to her VP title.

Simon and Jonathan Chinn, co-Founders of Lightbox, commented: \u201cDespite the challenging climate facing our industry globally, Lightbox\u2019s senior team has worked hard to navigate these headwinds to develop and produce a wide range of successful, award-winning series and feature documentaries for a growing number of networks and streamers globally, and to diversify into new and exciting areas such as factual drama.
