Moira Hogan will step down as EVP, BritBox International and General Manager, Australia, after five years with the BBC Studios-owned streaming service.
No successor has been named at this stage.
The news of Hogan’s departure follows news out of the UK overnight that CEO of BBC Global Media & Streaming Rebecca Glashow is set to depart the business, prompting a structural reorganisation.
Hogan spearheaded the launch of BritBox in Australia and played a central role in transforming the market into one of the platform’s strongest performers. Under her leadership, the business secured key distribution deals with Amazon, Apple and Foxtel, and delivered consistent subscriber and revenue growth.
BritBox, available in the US, Canada, Australia, and the Nordics, is a joint venture wholly owned by BBC Studios and offers a curated selection of British dramas, comedies, and documentaries.
Earlier this year, Hogan oversaw a major relaunch of the service in Australia. Her remit later expanded to include oversight of the Nordics and South Africa, as part of the BritBox International senior leadership team.
“I’m immensely proud of everything we’ve built together,” said Hogan. “With the recent shift within Studios to a more domestic focus, I’ve decided this is the right time to seek a new challenge that aligns with my experience in international business leadership.”
“We’ve grown the team, built meaningful partnerships, and achieved a huge lift in revenue. I’m leaving behind a strong, resilient team that will continue to thrive and grow.”
Robert Schildhouse, President BritBox North America and GM BritBox International, said: “Moira has delivered exceptional results both locally and internationally, operating with autonomy while building strong, collaborative relationships across our global organisation. Moira has taken bold risks that drove revenue growth and shown commitment to building a culture where everyone can do their best work and share in success. It’s been a pleasure working with Moira on the SLT and I wish her every success.”
Robi Stanton, EVP & General Manager, Global Media & Streaming, ANZ at BBC Studios, added: “Moira’s leadership has been central to the success of BritBox in Australia. Her strategic vision and deep understanding of the market were instrumental in building a thriving business. We thank her for her significant contributions and wish her the very best in her next endeavour.”
