Joining FEG's sales organization are Simona Argenti, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Content Sales, for the EMEA region; Nathalie Wogue, Senior Vice President, Global Formats; and Roxanne Likely, Senior Director, Content Sales for the U.S. and Latin America. Argenti will be based alongside Smyth in London, while Wogue and Likely will operate out of FEG's Los Angeles headquarters. They join FEG's current sales executives Jody Cipriano, Vice President, Sales, Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, Andy Whiteman, Sales Consultant, and Brook Peters, Senior Vice President, Neshama Releasing, which oversees the distribution of FEG titles in Canada.

As FEG grows its portfolio of titles and formats worldwide, we now have our full senior leadership team in place to ensure that content reaches global buyers and audiences everywhere, said Smyth. Accomplished, strategic and respected, Simona, Nathalie and Roxanne are among the best executives in the business and join our sales operation alongside Jody, Andy and Brooke, creating an organization built on strong, proven relationships around the globe and a constant drive to create mutually beneficial, partner-focused opportunity.

Argenti brings more than a decade of expertise in international television distribution to her new role at FEG. Most recently, she was in technology at Salesforce, levering Artificial Intelligence and data to support broadcasters and advertisers through their digital transformation with clients that included the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. She was previously at TCB Media Rights in London, where she quickly moved up the ranks from Sales Manager to Senior Sales Manager to Head of Sales following their merger with Beyond Rights. During this time, she was responsible for forging key partnerships and securing co-productions and pre-sales across the United States, U.K. and France. Prior to that, she was a scripted and digital sales executive at BBC Studios.

Widely regarded as a leading format expert, Wogue most recently has been consulting as an International Format Strategist for FOX's in-house unscripted studio FOX Alternative Entertainment (FAE), working on the studio's International Unscripted Format Fund and helping develop such formats as BEAT MY MINI-MES (France/TF1), MARRIAGE MARKET (Germany/ProSieben) and CELEBRITY MASTERPEICE (Thailand/Workpoint). She brings to FEG a wide-range of experience, including being a former journalist at TF1, independent producer, Head of Development at Fremantle France, Global Vice President of Formats at IMG Entertainment, Chief International Officer at Endemol France and President of the joint venture between Endemol and Mark Burnett Productions, where she helped launch and create formats that are still successfully aired around the world. She also oversaw the MIPFormats program with RX Global/Reed Midem, during which she has also served as a judge in prestigious competitions including the Emmy Awards, Rose d'Or Awards and C21 Awards.

Likely joins FEG from Paramount, where she served for the past three years as Director, Content Acquisitions, charged with acquiring programming for 15 Paramount-owned platforms and channels. Prior to that, she spent nearly nine years at Miramax Films, first in a worldwide sales strategy role, creating and tracking to long-term planning projections across all lines of business and eventually transitioned to a direct sales role for the U.S. and Canada while overseeing Latin American sales. While at Miramax, she also focused on developing emerging lines of business and co-creating unique hybrid models for those deals.

Later this month at London Screenings, FEG is set to highlight new programming spanning unscripted, formats and adult animation, including the hit music guessing series WE ARE FAMILY, celebrity competition format BEAT MY MINI-MES and recently launched animated comedy GRIMSBURG.

FEG's current slate includes the hit ANIMATION DOMINATION series KRAPOPOLIS, the comedy ANIMAL CONTROL, just renewed for a third season, and unscripted hits NEXT LEVEL CHEF, I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE and SNAKE OIL. In addition, original made-for-platform movies round out FEG's growing portfolio of new films, including the thrillers THE CALLER, CHAOS ON THE FARM, INFLUENCED TO KILL, LA MADRE (aka MY MOTHER'S DARKSIDE), THE MARRIAGE PASS and WHISPERS IN THE WALLS; the romance feature MAKING SCENTS OF LOVE; drama DRESS FOR SUCCESS; holiday movies THE CHRISTMAS DETECTIVE, CHRISTMAS OF YES, HOLLY JOLLY, HOT GIRL WINTER and OUR CHRISTMAS MURAL; action titles THE GETBACK, INCARCERATED; and horror originals CEREBRUM, ERADICATION, TERROR TRAIN and TERROR TRAIN 2.
