Sony Pictures Home Entertainment named Jason Spivak executive vice president of worldwide digital distribution, the company announced Thursday.
Spivak, who was promoted from senior vice president and general manager of worldwide digital distribution, will continue to lead the team responsible for Sony's transactional digital business around the world.
"Jason has overseen tremendous growth in our digital transactional business," his boss Jim Underwood, the executive vice president for worldwide digital and commercial strategy, said in a statement. "this has been done, in large part, by his forging strong partnerships with our customers and working with them to innovate and drive increased business in this area."

Underwood said Spivak will continue to oversee business with cloud storage systems and the introduction to new revenue models to better monetize the home entertainment business, which has been threatened by the disruption of new internet tools.
Spivak previously served as the senior vice president of strategic development.
Before joining Sony, he spent eight years at MGM Home Entertainment, bouncing between Los Angeles and London to lead the studio's early digital distribution efforts.
He received his MBA from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and a bachelor's degree from UCLA.
