De Jesus was most recently series director on the series Paul O’Grady’s For The Love Of Dogs (ITV1), which ITV claims regularly attracts more than four million viewers an episode.

In his new role as creative director at Thinking Violets, he will oversee his own slate at the firm launched by Remy Blumenfeld in 2013.

De Jesus was first hired by Blumenfeld after graduating from the National Film and Television School in the UK with an MA for Directing and Producing for Television in 2007.

He later joined the development team at ITV where he oversaw a production arm dedicated to low cost, fast turnaround creation of new ideas and pilots which brought about the first branded content ever commissioned by ITV networks.
