REBECCA GLASHOW IS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF BBC STUDIOS - AMERICAS

BBC Studios announced the appointment of Rebecca Glashow as President of BBC Studios - Americas. Glashow will lead the region’s strategy to develop the company’s diversified distribution business activities in the United States, Canada and Latin America, and drive profitable long-term growth. Based in New York, Glashow will begin her new role on June 1, 2020 and report directly to Paul Dempsey, President of Global Distribution at BBC Studios. She replaces former President, Ann Sarnoff.

“Rebecca’s experience, energy, and entrepreneurial instincts make her perfectly placed to lead a new era of BBC Studios in the Americas as we look to take great British content to even wider audiences across the region,”  Dempsey said.

“Like many, I have long admired the BBC for their unparalleled dedication in bringing some of the most incredible story-telling to audiences around the world. So, I absolutely jumped at the opportunity to lead BBC Studios’ diversified businesses for the Americas - and can’t wait to get started,”  Glashow remarked.

Most recently, Glashow was the Co-Head of Awesomeness, a division of Viacom and leading entertainment brand focused on Gen Z, where she led all business operations and revenue including sales, marketing, research, distribution, and production.

Now Glashow will also work closely with Matt Forde, Managing Director of International Production and Formats, whose Los Angeles-based production unit produces Dancing with the Stars, the Life Below Zero franchise, among others.
