Ben Crompton is joining Fremantle this month to become its new global head of entertainment, reporting to CEO Jennifer Mullin.
Succeeding Andrew Llinares, Crompton joins Fremantle from NBCUniversal, where he served as VP for international unscripted.
“He is a business-minded leader with a deep understanding of the industry, not only from a development and production perspective, but also from a commercial and strategic viewpoint,” Mullin said. “I look forward to working closely with Ben and our hugely talented team at this extremely exciting time for our business, as we build on our successes and continue to push the creative boundaries together.”
Crompton added: “I have long admired Fremantle, a company known for creativity, innovation, and groundbreaking formats. I can’t wait to get started and collaborate with the exceptional talent across the Fremantle business.”
