Sharon Levy is leaving Endemol Shine North America after nearly a decade with the company, according to Deadline and Variety. Both outlets say her departure comes after years of work producing and leading in the unscripted television sector, including her role as CEO in the most recent period.
Variety reports that the exit follows a corporate restructure connected to the completion of Banijay’s roughly $8 billion merger with All3Media earlier in the summer. Under that new arrangement, Ben Samek, Banijay Americas CEO, oversees the combined company’s U.S. entity. Deadline adds that Levy has secured a new role that she is expected to begin in the new year, though the destination is not specified in the reporting.
While both sources confirm the timeline and reason tied to corporate changes, they differ on the emphasis: Deadline focuses on Levy’s next job and timing, while Variety emphasizes the post-merger organizational shift leading to her exit.
