LONDON: Glen Hansen has become Zodiak Rights’ new senior VP of sales, acquisitions and co-production for North America.

Hansen had been serving as the company’s senior VP of acquisitions and business development for North America.

In his new expanded role, Hansen will work out of Zodiak USA’s Los Angeles office and will answer to Jane Millichip, Zodiak Rights’ managing director in London. In addition to being in charge of the company’s third party acquisitions in the U.S., he will now be responsible for finished program and format sales in the U.S. and English-speaking Canada.

Earlier in his career, Hansen worked for FOX LOOK as the head of sales for finished programming and formats throughout all of the FOX U.S. cable channels and production divisions. Before that he held the title of senior VP of sales and acquisitions at Target Entertainment Group.

"Operating North American sales out of the U.S. is a significant strategic move for Zodiak Rights, and one which we believe will drive growth in all aspects of Zodiak Rights’ North American business," remarked Millichip. "I’m delighted that Glen Hansen is taking on this integrated sales and acquisitions position, he brings a great deal of experience, expertise and ambition to the role."
