Zodiak Rights Promotes Andreas Lemos to U.S. Post

LONDON: Andreas Lemos has been elevated from VP of acquisitions at Zodiak Rights to VP of sales for North America, acquisitions and co-productions at the company.

Lemos has been with Zodiak Rights since 2011, working primarily on third-party acquisitions in the U.K. He now assumes responsibility for all U.S. and English-language Canada finished program and format sales. He will continue to be based out of the company's London office.

Tim Mutimer, the CEO of Zodiak Rights, said: “I’m delighted that Andreas is taking on this integrated sales and acquisitions role. His entrepreneurial spirit combined with a great deal of expertise, creativity and ambition matches our strategy for North America and I’m delighted that Andreas will be leading Zodiak Rights’ activity in this important region. His experience of the Zodiak Rights catalogue and pre-financing key programming such as The Operatives (Pivot U.S.) will prove invaluable.”

Lemos said: “I am thrilled to be taking on this role at a point where the synergies between the Zodiak Rights catalogue and the North American market across both scripted and factual‎ have never been greater. I look forward to building on the successes of last year and opening up new discussions with both broadcasters and producers.”
