New York: Sony Pictures Entertainment has elevated Global Television Studios and Corporate Development chairman Ravi Ahuja to president and chief operating officer, effective April 1.
Ahuja will retain his current title at Sony Pictures Television and continue to report to chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra. His current oversight and reporting lines will remain unchanged, as will Vinciquerra’s direct reports.
“Ravi has consistently brought to bear his vast experience, knowledge, and expertise to help guide our operations and overall corporate direction,” Vinciquerra wrote in a memo to staff. “From reorienting our television businesses to better align with the realities of today’s TV landscape, to leveraging and expanding our popular franchises and game show IP, to seeking out new areas of growth through M&A, Ravi’s strategic insight and ability to drive execution have been instrumental in enhancing our businesses and preparing SPE for an even stronger future. In this expanded role as COO, Ravi will be able to apply his talents and results-driven approach across the breadth of SPE’s businesses.”
