Fremantle appoints Sharon Levy as CEO of Fremantle Americas and Australia, with the role starting in mid-January. The executive will be based in Fremantle’s Los Angeles offices and reports to Jennifer Mullin, CEO of the Fremantle Group. Levy’s remit covers the company’s production activities across the Americas, including the United States and Mexico.
Levy is joining Fremantle after previously leading at Banijay, where she served as CEO of Endemol Shine North America. Multiple outlets note that her move follows her departure from Endemol Shine, which she leaves at the end of the previous month. The reports broadly frame the appointment as a transition between major production groups within the global TV content industry.
While the outlets align on the appointment, start date, location, and reporting line, they differ mainly in emphasis. Variety highlights Levy’s prior role at Endemol Shine North America and her Banijay background, while Hollywood Reporter focuses on the formal details of the new CEO appointment. Deadline additionally underscores that the hire follows its earlier reporting on Levy’s Endemol Shine exit.
