Karga Seven’s founders, Emmy-nominated producers Sarah Wetherbee, Emre Sahin, and Kelly McPherson, will remain in leadership roles. Wetherbee and Sahin will serve as Global Co-CEOs with McPherson as Head of English-Language Content, alongside industry veteran and newly hired Ömer Müjdat Özgüner serving as Turkey CEO.
Sahin and Wetherbee will report into North Road President Jan Frouman, who led the deal for North Road. Stated Chernin: “Given its sheer volume of globally relevant and high-quality content, Turkey is a perfect fit with North Road’s broader international strategy, and the addition Karga 7 to our studio is a significant accomplishment. In a short time, Sarah, Emre and Kelly have established Karga 7 as the most compelling premium player in the region, and Jan, the team and I are incredibly excited about our partnership and collective plans to aggressively expand the business.
