With Beverley at the helm, we are well-positioned to maintain our strong position in Australia as the only global media company with a successful free-to-air network and powerful free and paid streaming platforms, powered by our global content pipeline and our range of originally produced Australian shows."
McGarvey said she was excited to take on an expanded role at such a pivotal time for Paramount's business in Australia.
"I look forward to propelling the Australian business forward and working with the incredible local and international teams, under Pam's leadership, as we continue to pursue our multi-platform growth strategy, investing in key commercial partnerships and contributing to our global pipeline of content," she said.
