New CEO at Screenz

LOS ANGELES: Screenz, which is jointly owned by Keshet Broadcasting and The Box, has a new CEO to lead its activities in the cross-media world, Yuval Nathan.

Nathan is a board member at Keshet Media. He is currently the CEO and editor in chief of Keshet’s new-media arm, Mako. Screenz has offices in Los Angeles as well as in London and Tel Aviv.

“We are beyond pleased to have Yuval join and lead the Screenz team,” said Avi Nir, the CEO of Keshet Media Group. “As one of the founders of Keshet’s new media arm Mako in 2008, he has made an outstanding and enduring impact on Israel’s digital entertainment market in just five years. I am eager to see Screenz grow into an international force under his leadership.”
 
“I am very thrilled for the opportunity to work closely with Yuval in this new capacity,” added Eli Uzan, Screenz’s chairman and The Box’s CEO. “Yuval has been an integral part of Screenz’s advancement in the past year and I am looking forward to taking Screenz to the next level. Yuval is one of the most talented, respected professionals in the industry and we couldn’t have wished for a better fit.”
 
“I am tremendously excited and honored to join Screenz, and I am looking forward to working with the company’s enormously talented creative staff to expand its innovative reach,” said Nathan. “I have to thank Avi Nir for his belief in the potential of bridging the gap between broadcast TV and the digital sphere; I am confident that Screenz has the potential to achieve the same level of success in the global arena as Mako did in Israel.”
