Sutikki, the kids entertainment company behind UK series Moon & Me, has also brought Simon Philips on to the company’s board.

Mungo steps into a role previously held by Bento Box founder and CEO Scott Greenberg.

As head of UK licensing at eOne, Mungo was a key member of the team that built the Peppa Pig brand prior to a US$4bn takeover by US toy giant Hasbro.

More recently, Mungo was the country director for the UK and Ireland for NBCU’s brand development division where she transitioned the business from agent to direct model.

At NBCU, Mungo built and led a team across consumer products, marketing, retail and product development that leveraged entertainment brands like Minions, Trolls and Jurassic World to build profitable growth.

The hire comes after Sutikki co-founders Irene Weibel and Andrew Kerr exited the company in September, with Kerr citing “the arrival of new investors in Sutikki earlier this year, and the direction that the company has chosen to pursue since” in a statement on LinkedIn.

Mungo said: “Our vision is to create amazing content, maximise exposure of that content across the globe and engage consumers with a 360º-approach. Moon & Me is a great example of the quality, internationally scalable content created at Sutikki.”

Philips joins Sutikki’s board of directors to provide guidance on the company’s vision and the execution of its global brands. His previous experience includes a stint as EMEA exec VP and general manager at Disney, president of Marvel Entertainment International and MD at 4Kids Entertainment International.

Trilith Studios, where films like Avengers: Endgame and Sony’s Passengers were produced, recently made an investment in Sutikki as part of its expansion plans into content. Other investors include JSB Toons. The company has offices in Atlanta and LA.
