VP and GM of MTV Networks Korea Ben Richardson has been appointed to the same role for Nickelodeon Australia.
Richardson replaces Katrina Southon who was promoted to senior vice president and managing director, MTV Networks in February.
She said of Richardson’s appointment: “It’s always exciting when an Australian can make a big impression overseas, but it’s even more exciting when we welcome them home to lead our longest-established business. Ben is a passionate kids advocate and I’m delighted that he’ll be taking on the general manager’s role.”
Prior to joining MTV Networks Richardson was executive producer at XYZ Networks.
