eOne Puts in Place New U.S. Film & Distribution Leadership

TORONTO: Following its acquisition of Phase 4 Films, Entertainment One (eOne) has brought together a new leadership team for U.S. film and distribution under President Berry Meyerowitz.

Sean Monson is tapped as the executive VP of finance and operations for U.S. film and distribution at eOne, while David Richardson serves as executive VP of sales and marketing. Ian Goggins becomes the senior VP of on-demand/digital, Larry Greenberg the senior VP of acquisitions, and Ben Means the senior VP of label management. Polly Beel will serve as VP of marketing. Meyerowitz, who founded Phase 4 in 2009, now oversees all aspects of film distribution in the U.S. for eOne as well as the company’s North American label and kids' and family content distribution businesses.

The restructuring sees Dylan Wiley, Patrick McDonough, Ryan Markowitz, Seanna Hore, Sejin Croninger and Walter Schmidt exit the company.

“I’m proud to announce our leadership team and affirm our strategy in the U.S. to our many valued, and now combined, group of industry partners. Our dream team will harness Phase 4’s expertise and strong relationships and join forces with eOne teams to augment our abilities and offering,” said Meyerowitz.
