He became CEO in December 2015, when ITV completed its acquisition of the Leftfield group. George will be reporting to and working closely with ITV America CEO Brent Montgomery. He will also continue to work closely with ITV America Chief Creative Officer Adam Sher on ITVA development and series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo say that David George has been a key player in the evolution and growth of Leftfield\u2014and now ITV America\u2014is an understatement,\u201d said Montgomery. \u201cHe has helped move the company to its next iteration of content across nearly every genre, working especially creatively on innovative projects and deals with Amazon and Netflix, including our recently announced reimagining of the iconic <em>Queer Eye<\/em>\u00a0to be produced by ITV Entertainment and our partners at Scout. Most importantly, he is a terrific human being and friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>George added, \u201cIt\u2019s rare in our business to step into a job and find a home. Leftfield and ITV have created a shop where the sky\u2019s the limit, and if you want to take risks, work hard and think outside the box, it\u2019s an amazing place for a producer, and for an executive. I\u2019m truly honored by this move to ITV America and cannot wait to continue pushing our company forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK: David George, who has served as CEO of Leftfield Entertainment since December 2015, has been elevated to president of ITV America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1207,166],"class_list":["post-7739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-david-george","tag-itv-america"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
