Former Leftfield Entertainment executive Jerry DiMeglio will serve as Wheelhouse\u2019s new CFO.<\/p>\n<p>Kristin Welton was named senior VP of marketing, events and brand partnerships. The brand expert, who has worked for Nylon Media and <em>Vogue<\/em>, will be responsible for Wheelhouse Entertainment\u2019s events strategy and brand integration to spearhead corporate partnerships. Joining the company from The Creative Studio and Banijay Entertainment is Fanny Baudry, who was named VP of business development on the West Coast. Leftfield Entertainment alum Michael Salerno, meanwhile, was tapped for the VP of business development on the East Coast position.<\/p>\n<p>President of Wheelhouse Entertainment Sean Cohan and Chief Strategy Officer Ed Simpson were previously announced new appointments.<\/p>\n<p>Montgomery said: \u201c2018 was about building the foundation for Wheelhouse, which we envisioned as a major, talent-driven content company that could extend far beyond entertainment and media in order to propel new businesses and opportunities across platforms and industries. It\u2019s an admittedly ambitious venture, and we have been so thrilled and humbled in the last year by the positive reception to it by all of our partners in the content, brand and talent worlds. Now, we are bolstering our own infrastructure with best in class executives\u2014both inside and outside of media\u2014and that represents a major milestone for Wheelhouse. The talent and expertise of Julie, Jerry, Kristin, Fanny, Mike, and of course Ed and Sean, will take us from the building-blocks stage to the building of real Wheelhouse businesses. We are all exhilarated for the ride and for our prospects in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wheelhouse Entertainment CEO Brent Montgomery has appointed five people to the company\u2019s senior leadership team, including new COO Julie Souza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":9248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[230,1630],"class_list":["post-9247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-brent-montgomery","tag-wheelhouse-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wheelhouse Hires Five Senior Staff - TVUSA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Wheelhouse Entertainment CEO Brent Montgomery has appointed five people to the company\u2019s senior leadership team, including new COO Julie Souza.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wheelhouse Hires Five Senior Staff - TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Wheelhouse Entertainment CEO Brent Montgomery has appointed five people to the company\u2019s senior leadership team, including new COO Julie Souza.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVUSA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-01-18T17:08:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-01-18T17:41:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2017\/07\/Julie-Souza-wheelhouse-0119.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/\",\"name\":\"Wheelhouse Hires Five Senior Staff - TVUSA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-01-18T17:08:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-01-18T17:41:05+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"description\":\"Wheelhouse Entertainment CEO Brent Montgomery has appointed five people to the company\u2019s senior leadership team, including new COO Julie Souza.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/wheelhouse-hires-five-senior-staff\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Wheelhouse Hires Five Senior Staff\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/\",\"name\":\"TVUSA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvusa\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
