Pilgrim Media Taps WME Alum to Lead Business Affairs

Pilgrim Media Group has appointed David Harris, a former William Morris Endeavor (WME) exec, as its senior VP of business and legal affairs.

In his new position, Harris will oversee deal-making for the production company across all development, sales, talent, distribution and other corporate business. He will work under Gretchen Stockdale, Pilgrim Media’s COO and general counsel.

Harris previously served as a business affairs executive at WME since 2008. Earlier in his career, he was an associate at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

Stockdale commented: “David’s expertise in the key facets of our business, the complexity of the deals he has orchestrated and the caliber of talent he has worked with make him an ideal fit for Pilgrim. We know David will be integral to our team as we continue building our premium franchises and expanding our content into new arenas and platforms.”
