14 Nov
Summary
- Jenny Daly, President of A. Smith & Co. Productions, is leaving the company
- Daly plans to return to her "independent and entrepreneurial roots" and focus on the creator economy
- A. Smith & Co. Productions is behind hit shows like American Ninja Warrior and Hell's Kitchen
In a surprising move, Jenny Daly, the President of A. Smith & Co. Productions, is leaving the company after only six months on the job. According to the article, Daly and A. Smith & Co. founder Arthur Smith, who is also the Chairman and CEO, have decided to part ways due to a difference in focus.
Daly is now set to return to her "independent and entrepreneurial roots" and is eyeing a transition into the rapidly growing creator economy. This shift aligns with the recent moves of other industry executives, such as Corie Henson, who recently joined MrBeast's Beast Industry Studios as President.
"I have had a great time working alongside Arthur but with the opportunity in creator-driven content exploding, it feels like the right time for me to step out on my own and build in areas where I'm very passionate," Daly told Deadline.
A. Smith & Co. Productions is the company behind several hit unscripted shows, including NBC's American Ninja Warrior, Fox's Hell's Kitchen, Netflix's Floor is Lava, and TLC's Welcome to Plathville. Daly's departure comes as the company continues to produce high-profile content for major networks and streaming platforms.
