John Gill is the new CEO for the National Screen Institute, replacing Derek Luis, effective April 4.

Gill was most recently consulting for a range of broadcasters, including Rogers, S-VOX and the Knowledge Network.

Before that, he was a senior programming exec at Alliance Atlantis Communications and TVOntario.

“John comes to NSI with a wealth of experience and a breadth of industry connections,” Brad Pelman and Raja Khanna, co-chairs of the Winnipeg-based professional training centre’s board of directors, said in a statement.

“I’m excited to join NSI and to work with their talented board and staff,” Gill said in his own statement.
