, a distribution leader and a driving force behind the company’s sustainability drive, is leaving the company after almost 10 years.CEO Cécile Frot-Coutaz on Tuesday morning. Millichip, who currently serves as chief content officer for Sky Studios, is leaving the company after nine years. She first joined the business in 2013.
Since joining Sky Studios — the new in-house production arm — Millichip has led on editorial activities across the U.K., Germany and Italy on shows such as “A Discovery of Witches” , “Der Pass” and forthcoming in-house production “The Rising.” She’s also been a strong champion and key architect of the company’s push into sustainable production across all Sky Originals, as well as a drive to work with diverse talent.
Cooper — an eight-year Sky veteran — will oversee Sky Studios business affairs, the Jason Simms-led international scripted team and content operations. I would like to thank Jane for everything she has contributed to Sky and the support she has provided me in my first few months at Sky Studios. I am pleased that she will remain with the business until the end of April and we look forward to a proper in-person send-off then.
