International distributor Zodiak Rights has hired Gary Woolf for the newly created position of head of digital, business development and insight.

Woolf was most recently SVP of digital and business development at UK-based distributor All3Media International, and prior to that, he was VP of business development and digital for BBC Worldwide.

Reporting directly to Zodiak Rights CEO Steve Macallister, Woolf will be tasked with creating the distribution company’s digital growth strategy as well as identifying non-traditional revenue streams for top Zodiak Rights franchises and heading up the newly created insight team.

Zodiak Rights is the global distribution and rights exploitation arm of Zodiak Media, which has seen several execs exit in recent months throughout its various divisions, including the recent departure of Zodiak UK Kids CEO Nigel Pickard, who stepped down from his role at the end of last month.
