Fremantle has promoted Jimmy Fox to its president of content and strategy. He’ll oversee traditional development and strategic business initiatives, “with a broadened creative mandate designed to accelerate Fremantle’s continued evolution across new forms of content, innovative partnerships, and emerging growth opportunities,” per the studio.
The exec has been tapped to help seek out business opportunities and develop new formats for the company across its divisions.
“Since joining the company, Jimmy has been an instrumental leader across both our creative and business efforts, consistently demonstrating an ability to identify opportunities and turn them into results,” said Jennifer Mullin, CEO, Fremantle. “From launching standout projects to forging key partnerships, his impact has been felt across the organization, and I am delighted to see him step into this expanded role.”
Fox joined Fremantle in 2024 as executive vice president of unscripted development and sales. Content Fox has helped develop includes Evil Infuencer, which premiered as the number one film on Netflix in both the U.S. and the UK, ABC’s new version of Match Game, and competition series Win the Mall for Netflix.
Fremantle produces and/or distributes the Got Talent format and franchise, as well as Baywatch, Family Feud, Too Hot To Handle and more.
Fox, who has three Emmys under his belt, will continue to report directly to Mullin.
