In a strategic move, Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has appointed Mike Wald and Jason Spivak as co-presidents of distribution and networks. This new leadership structure aims to streamline the studio's television and home entertainment distribution operations. The duo will oversee key areas such as post-theatrical film distribution, television content distribution, multi-channel marketing, and international cable networks in regions like Latin America and Europe.

Both executives bring extensive experience to their new roles. Wald has had a distinguished career at Sony Pictures, holding various senior positions, including executive vice president of international distribution and content strategy. Meanwhile, Spivak has been instrumental in leading Sony Pictures Entertainment’s North American distribution efforts, managing post-theatrical releases of films and episodic programming. Previously, he held significant roles in strategic development and worldwide digital distribution. They will continue to report to Keith Le Goy, who recently assumed the role of SPT chairman.

The appointment reflects SPT's commitment to navigating the evolving media landscape. Le Goy expressed confidence in Wald and Spivak's ability to lead the company through this transformative period. Their combined expertise in global market management and home entertainment trends positions them well to guide the business forward. Wald and Spivak are equally enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with top-tier teams and steer the company into its next chapter of success. This leadership change underscores Sony's readiness to thrive in the dynamic distribution environment, setting a positive tone for future endeavors.
