Reporting jointly to Michael Schwimmer, president of Global Platform Strategy and Revenue, and Pierluigi Gazzolo, president and Chief Transformation Officer, Borensztein will lead content licensing efforts internationally, as well as drive co-production deals for linear and streaming original content.
