Sphere Media Shuffles Leadership for Growth

Sphere Media, a notable production company, has implemented key executive leadership adjustments. David Way has been appointed as the executive vice president of English-language unscripted series. Based in Vancouver, Way will lead the Toronto-based unscripted team, focusing on developing original series for both Canadian and global markets.

In other strategic moves, Judith Beauchemin has been promoted to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Previously, she managed the company's kids and family division. Elise Cousineau now steps into the role of executive vice president of content for the English scripted division, having previously served as vice president of development.

These promotions occur as Jennifer Kawaja steps down from her role as president of Sphere's English-language scripted division. Kawaja will continue her association with Sphere Media by serving as an executive producer on select projects. Additionally, Brigitte Lemonde will lead Zone3 as its president and executive producer following its merger with Sphere.

Sphere Media, under CEO Bruno Dubé, has a slate of upcoming productions including 'This Summer Will Be Different' for Netflix and the limited series 'Cold Country' for the CBC. The company also maintains a joint venture with Bell Media through Sphere Abacus, its international distribution arm.
