Zodiak USA chief exits

Zodiak USA CEO Natalka Znak will leave the company next month, just over a year after taking up the position.

Znak was made CEO of Zodiak USA last March on an interim basis, following the departure of Grant Mansfield, and took up the post on a full-time basis in June.

It is not known if Znak has left to take up a role elsewhere, nor if Zodiak has anyone lined up to take her place. A spokeswoman declined to comment.

Znak joined as US chief creative officer in 2010 after 17 years at ITV Studios, where her final role was as controller of factual entertainment.

At Zodiak USA, she was tasked with adapting the company’s UK formats for the American marketplace and oversaw the production of series such Secret Millionaire, Celebrity Wife Swap and Hardcore Pawn in the US.
