Former Paramount Global exec Brendon Thomas has joined Radial Entertainment as the company’s new chief revenue officer. At Radial he’ll handle revenue generation through the company’s library and acquisitions via distribution, licensing, advertising, business development and new market expansion.

Thomas will report to Radial CEO Jeff Shultz, who announced the hire on Wednesday. Shultz joined Radial last December, having previously served as chief strategy officer and chief business development officer of Paramount Streaming, where he worked with Thomas.

“Brendon and I have built together for nearly a decade,” Shultz said in a statement. “He led our most important distribution deals and strategic partnerships at Paramount and he’s the best commercial operator I know. There was no one else I wanted in this seat.”
