Nicholas Hadley-Kamptz exits Viaplay Group as part of its restructure

Nicholas Hadley-Kamptz, Head of Movies, Factual and Kids - Nordic at Viaplay Group, is exiting the company as part of its widespread restructure. He had been promoted into the role in January 2023, and he was in charge of overseeing the content strategy for movies, documentaries and kids’ content – including originals such as “Karma & Jonar” – for Viaplay in the Nordics, across SVOD, TVOD and pay TV.

Hadley-Kamptz originally joined Viaplay Group in September 2021 as Head of Expansion Programming, leading the team responsible for all content strategy, planning and acquisition for all of Viaplay’s international expansion.

“After two exhilarating, fabulous, and ultimately very developing years, my journey at Viaplay comes to a close after the recent significant restructure, and I am now available and open to work,”  Nicholas Hadley-Kamptz posted on LinkedIn.

Hadley-Kamptz has worked across almost all facets of content management and acquisitions with roles in strategy, operations and systems across all genres of broadcast for some of the largest companies in the market including Turner Broadcasting, Fox Sports, ESPN, and TV4. He has managed teams across multiple regions, and has worked in Sweden, Spain and the UK.

Hadley-Kamptz’s exit comes amid financial turmoil for the group, which implemented a restructuring plan that involves withdrawal from key international markets and a 25% reduction in staff. This followed the exit of former CEO Anders Jensen in June, and his replacement by Jorgen Madsen Lindemann.
