Reed’s role at the LA-based company will be expanded to include oversight of the entire senior team and all unscripted and digital development. He joined the company in 2004.

The exec will also look for new business opportunities and international formats and acquisitions, while taking a more active role in developing, selling and producing scripted projects.

The company is best known for docudrama miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, which broke ratings records on A+E Networks’ History channel.

Founded in 1992 by CEO Leslie Greif, Thinkfactory’s portfolio of shows also includes R&B Divas, Preachers’ Daughters and Marriage Bootcamp.

ITV paid US$30m for a 65% controlling stake in Thinkfactory in June 2013. The deal included an option to buy the remaining 35% three years later.
