Sony Pictures Television is initiating a major restructuring of its Distribution & Networks division following the retirements of two key executives.

Both will report directly to Le Goy and are expected to leverage their extensive experience to drive the business forward.
Further changes include Mark Young taking on an expanded role as head of international, now overseeing Latin America and Asia-Pacific in addition to his existing responsibilities in EMEA. Monica Veiga will lead North America distribution. The studio is also strategically increasing its focus on growth areas such as YouTube, FAST channels, and other digital platforms, aiming to maximize content value and reach.
