Paramount Global has named Beverley McGarvey President of Network 10, Head of Streaming and Regional Lead for Australia and New Zealand, effective immediately.This comes after the exit of the UK-based Maria Kyriacou, Paramount’s former President of Broadcast and Studios, who counted Australia among her responsibilities.It also follows a local restructure that saw the departure of Executive VP, Chief Operating and Commercial Officer and Regional Lead Jarrod Villani.McGarvey, previously EVP, Chief Content Officer and Head of Paramount+ ANZ, will now report to Pam Kaufman, President & CEO of International Markets, Global Consumer Products and Experiences.Kaufman said Australia was one of Paramount’s “most important, priority markets,” with McGarvey’s promotion reflecting that fact. McGarvey will have commercial and creative leadership of Paramount’s business in Australia, with oversight of Network 10 and its portfolio of brands, including streamer 10 Play.She will also retain her current duties, overseeing all original content out of Australia, such as crime drama Last King of the Cross, and leading Paramount+ in Australia, reporting to Marco Nobili, EVP and International General Manager of Paramount+, in that capacity.
