ITV Studios America, the U.S. scripted division of the British broadcaster, has promoted Joey Kern to VP of Production, while Kimberly Rosenblum has been upped to VP of Business Affairs, Deadline reported. Both executives, who were previously directors, are now reporting to Dwayne Shattuck, EVP of Production; and Tom Lane, EVP of Business and Legal Affairs at ITV Studios America, respectively.

Kern and Rosenblum will work across the company’s scripted portfolio, which includes its internal slate as well as joint ventures and partners including “Snowpiercer” producer Tomorrow Studios, and “10-Year-Old Tom” producer Work Friends

Kern joined the company in 2019 to manage, initiate and supervise aspects of series production, facilitating communication between productions, the studio and the network, managing schedules and overseeing the financial well-being of the productions. He previously had the same title at IFC, after serving as Manager of Production at IFC and VH1.

Rosenblum also joined the company in 2019 to negotiate and draft deals with writers, producers, performers, co-production entities and more for ITV Studios America’s slate of scripted programming. She previously spent four plus years working as an Associate for Weintraub Tobin Chediak Coleman Grodin Law Corporation.

“I have been continually impressed with Joey’s and Kimberly’s work since they joined the company two years ago, and also with their support in ensuring we are a studio with whom producers, talent and talent reps always want to work; and their contributions to our success in expanding our creative footprint and production pipeline through our JVs and group operational structure,” said Philippe Maigret, President at ITV Studios America.

“Joey continues to demonstrate exemplary work and an unparalleled determination to swiftly overcome production challenges with a level-headed approach, and a resolve to work tirelessly across all United States scripted programming for ITV Studios America and its JVs,”  Shattuck added.
