Keshet alum Fleur Wheatley joins Seven.One Studios Int’l to head English-speaking sales
Former Keshet International executive Fleur Wheatley has been appointed VP of sales for the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand at German distributor Seven.One Studios International.
Reporting to MD Tim Gerhartz, Wheatley will be based in London and is tasked with spearheading Seven.One’s sales in English-speaking territories.
Her remit also includes working with the company’s scripted and unscripted acquisitions team to drive international growth.
Wheatley joins from Toronto-based unscripted outfit Serial Maven, where she led sales across the UK, Nordics and Benelux. Prior to that, she served as VP of sales at Israeli distributor Keshet International.
At Canada’s Blue Ant International, Wheatley was director of international sales and acquisitions. She began her career at Fremantle, working in production on formats such as Celebrity Juice and World’s Toughest Jobs.
Gerhartz said: “Fleur brings an impressive breadth of experience across both formats and finished programming, spanning scripted and unscripted content.
“Her strong background in international distribution, as well as development and coproductions, makes her a fantastic addition to our sales team. I’m excited to closely collaborate with Fleur as we continue to deliver a premium, diverse slate of international titles to our partners around the world.”
Wheatley said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Seven.One Studios International at such a pivotal time, as the company further cements its position as a major player in the global content market.
“With a rich catalogue spanning tentpole brands and premium content from across the globe, there’s so much potential to drive new partnerships across key English-speaking territories. I’m especially excited to work with the talented team on hits like Married at First Sight and Stranded on Honeymoon Island, alongside upcoming highlights such as Channel 4’s The Hunt.”
