Michela Di Mondo

Michela Di Mondo will continue to report to former MGM exec Susan Hummel, senior VP of distribution and sales for FMI, in the Toronto-based role.

Di Mondo joined FMI in early 2014 shortly after the Canadian branch of the firm was established, having previously been an executive director at Media Group International (MGI). Di Mondo oversaw sales for studios such as Sony Pictures, MGM and FMI while at MGI.

FMI represents a catalogue of 20,000 hours of programming throughout both the English- and French-speaking regions of Canada.

“This promotion recognises Michela’s ongoing commitment to our business through her key relationships and creative deal-making strategies, including managing brands such as Jamie Oliver and American Idol,” said Hummel.
