Having recently announced his departure from Twentieth Century Fox, it looks like Elie Dekel will be working again with Haim Saban at Saban Capital Group.

In his new role as MD for the company, Dekel will be based in L.A. and report to president and COO Adam Chesnoff. Capitalizing on his many years of licensing experience, Dekel will be honing his skills to expand Saban’s L&M activities and IP opps in the US and internationally.

Dekel headed up the worldwide licensing, promotion and consumer products marketing for Fox, and also worked with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA). He served as president of Saban Consumer Products/Fox Family Worldwide in the 1990s, overseeing its worldwide marketing and branding efforts.
