Keith Le Goy, who has been with Sony for 22 years, was promoted to Chairman of Worldwide Distribution and Networks for Sony Pictures. He will be one of three president-level executives – along with Tom Rothman and Ravi Ahuja – to run the studio’s businesses under Tony Vinciquerra, president and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
In this role, Le Goy will continue to oversee SPT’s international networks operations, programming and strategy group, and our Funimation business. He will also co-lead our recently merged theatrical, home entertainment, and television distribution and marketing businesses with Josh Greenstein, with Tom Rothman’s oversight.
“Over the last few years, Keith’s responsibilities and oversight have grown significantly across SPE’s multiple lines of business. His new title reflects that expansion and the outstanding leadership he has shown. During his 22 years at SPE, Keith has been at the center of some of the studio’s most transformative initiatives and accomplishments – most recently leading the complex negotiations for the unprecedented output deals with Netflix and Disney. Keith has also been an integral part of SPE’s restructuring of several of the studio’s businesses and operations, including our “Reimagining SPE” efforts, which brought together SPT’s global networks operations and worldwide distribution/home entertainment businesses into a single business group operating in a territory management model.
Additionally, Keith, along with Josh Greenstein, drove the effort to combine the studio’s theatrical, home entertainment, and television distribution marketing operations into one unit, and established a regional model to integrate our international distribution businesses,” Vinciquerra said.
