Thanks to hits like the James Bond film “Skyfall,” MGM has bounced back from bankruptcy. The studio has reported a series of strong financial results since emerging from Chapter 11 in 2010. During its most recent fiscal quarter, revenues climbed more than 160 percent to $339 million thanks to big screen hits like “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and the success of TV shows like “Vikings” and “Teen Wolf.”
Brown most recently served as the studio’s executive vice president, marketing, overseeing global television marketing as well as overseeing the studio’s home entertainment division.
Prior to joining MGM in 2007, Brown held marketing posts at New Regency and Marvel Studios.
