Katie O'Connell Marsh to Lead Fremantle's Global Scripted Hub

Katie O'Connell Marsh has been appointed as the new CEO of Fremantle's Global Scripted Hub, a newly established division. She is set to officially begin her role in August and will relocate to London from the U.S. to do so.

Her responsibilities will encompass providing creative, commercial, and strategic direction for Fremantle's various scripted labels worldwide. O'Connell Marsh will also manage the company's annual scripted investment budget and collaborate with the Commercial & International team on sales forecasts and commercial analysis.

With a background producing successful series like Netflix's Narcos and Apple TV's Invasion, O'Connell Marsh has a strong reputation for developing premium, commercially viable content. Her leadership at Gaumont International Television and Platform One, along with her executive producer credits, highlight her proven ability to identify and nurture successful global productions.

Fremantle aims to strengthen its global scripted business under Marsh's leadership, building on its diverse slate and award-winning creative labels. This strategic move comes as Fremantle navigates a competitive global market and diversifies its content offerings beyond its well-known entertainment formats.
