Radial Entertainment has tapped former Sony exec Carrie Ferman as the company’s new chief opperating officer. The news was revealed on Wednesday at the StreamTV Show in Denver during a keynote interview with Radial CEO Jeff Shultz.
Ferman previously served as head of business strategy and operations at Sony Pictures TV. This reps the latest major hire at Radial under Shultz, who joined the company in December. Among other hires, he recently tapped Brendon Thomas as the company’s new chief revenue officer.
“We’ve spent the last few months assembling a team and a platform built for global scale, and Carrie is exactly the operator we needed to take it to the next level. Her experience running operations, supply chain, and M&A integration at Sony at the level she did is a direct match for where Radial is headed,” Shultz said in a statement. “Her arrival puts the finishing touch on the management infrastructure we’ve been building, and I couldn’t be more confident in where we go from here.”
In her role, Ferman will oversee operations including content distribution, technology and business functions, and will handle the integration of new acquisitions. She will also coordinate Radial’s growing library (now at 70,000 titles) across FAST, AVOD, SVOD and TVOD platforms.
