Keshet International CEO Alon Shtruzman to step down after a decade

Alon Shtruzman, CEO of Keshet International, is stepping down from the company at the end of the year after a decade in the role. Shtruzman has led the division since it was launched by Keshet Media Group in 2012. A replacement has not been named and Shtruzman’s next move is not yet known.

Under Shtruzman leadership, Keshet International established a global distribution and production infrastructure that has seen titles such as “Suspicion,” “A Small Light” and “LA Brea” picked up by major networks and streaming platforms. The CEO also oversaw the company’s expansion to the United States, UK and Germany with the establishment of Keshet Studios and the acquisition of German production company Tresor.

“Probably for many years to come there will be talk around the campfire and on Zoom in London, Los Angeles, New York, Munich, and Tel Aviv about Alon Shtruzman’s ten years at Keshet International,”  said Avi Nir, CEO of Keshet Media Group. “Perhaps historians will rightly call it the ‘glorious decade.’ Keshet had a dream of a global Israeli content company – a realistic dream, which was based on the talent and ability of Israeli creators and the belief that this talent can reach anywhere in the world – and Alon is undoubtedly the dream maker who has created a one-of-a-kind world,”  he added. 

“The ten years since Keshet International was founded have been an amazing experience for me. So much has happened to our industry during this time, and I’m beyond proud for how much Keshet International has evolved and adapted during this last decade. I am grateful to Keshet and Avi Nir for the faith and support, to Keshet International’s management and the entire team for conquering so many peaks and taking our content across the world, and to the buyers, producers and creators who were part of this exciting journey,”  Shtruzman declared.
