Ian Hogg, the long-time CEO of Fremantle Media Australia, has announced plans to exit.
He will leave the business at the end of this month after nearly 10 years with the television production company.
He has also been responsible for its APAC business, since 2011.
Fremantle is behind hit shows such as The X Factor, Australia’s Got Talent, Family Feud, Grand Designs, and Neighbours.
Hogg described running the business as a career “highlight”.
He says: “The opportunity to lead the exceptional team at FMA is a career highlight. It is a business steeped in history that continues to write new chapters. I am particularly proud of the diversity of content we have produced while at the helm. I thank all those who’ve shared in this experience with me and genuinely wish the group’s fantastic leadership and staff the very, very best moving forward.”
The company's group CEO, Cécile Frot-Coutaz, adds: “On behalf of his many colleagues and friends across FremantleMedia, I would like to thank Ian for the significant contribution he has made to our business and to wish him well for the future.”
