MUMBAI: News corp owned Shine International CEO Camilla Hammer has called it quits for personal reasons. Nadine Nohr will be the interim CEO.

Shine Group CEO Alex Mahon said, "We are sorry to see Camilla leave but understanding and respectful of her decision to do so. She has steered Shine International to be on course for another record year of growth, buoyed by successful sales campaigns for recent scripted properties, including the second series of the critically acclaimed ‘The Hour‘ and forthcoming Frank Spotnitz-penned ‘Hunted from Kudos‘, in addition to the ongoing strong performances of our global formats such as ‘MasterChef‘.‘

Nadine steps into the role not only as an incredibly experienced international distribution executive but one well known to both the Shine team and clients given her three years of consulting with it."

MUMBAI: Elizabeth Murdoch, the daughter of News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch, is stepping down as CEO of Shine, a move seen as an intent by the senior Murdoch to assign her a bigger role at News Corp.

Alex Mahon will step in as Shine Group CEO from September while Elisabeth will remain as its chairman.

Elizabeth said, ?As Shine further diversifies across genres, geographies and platforms, I believe that the continued growth of the company requires the chairman and CEO roles to be distinct and separate. Alex has earned this new leadership position in recognition of her substantial contribution to Shine?s growth from a single U.K.-based production company a decade ago to the global business we run today."

The division of duties will focus Alex?s attention on managing the operational business, while allowing Elizabeth to concentrate on identifying future strategic opportunities.
