Zodiak Rights, the international division of Zodiak Media, has announced a new structure to its London and Paris based distribution businesses. The new genre based structure will consist of five divisions; Non-Scripted Programming, Scripted Programming, Kids, Digital & Publishing and Clips. From the January 1, 2013, all non-scripted programming will be sold out of London and all scripted programming out of Paris – they are currently divided by territories. All other divisions will be based out of London.

As a result of this restructure Jane Millichip, Managing Director Zodiak Rights London, has decided to exit the business at the end of January 2013.  Zodiak Rights is currently recruiting for a head of the new non-scripted division and will announce their appointment in due course.

In addition, Zodiak Rights has created a new role, Chief Operating Officer, and appointed Sara Wookey to the position.

“This new structure and appointment is a great way to start the New Year for Zodiak Rights. It will provide absolute clarity for buyers on where they should be going for scripted and non-scripted programming and add great operational expertise to the company,” said Matthew Frank, CEO Zodiak Rights.

He added, “Jane Millichip has been a huge asset to the company and I am very sorry to see her leave. She has been my wing-woman and support over many years and life will seem very strange without her. I fully respect her decision to go and wish her well in her next adventure wherever that may be”
