Keri Levinsky is the new director, Canada television distribution, at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), effective Monday.

Levinsky will report to Susan Hummel, SVP, U.S. Basic Cable and Canada Television, based in Toronto.

Levinsky joined Achilles Media in 2005 as marketing director responsible for the Banff World Television Festival, nextMEDIA and the World Congress of History Producers. She was then senior manager, Business Development, Content at OptikTV for Telus for five years.

This follows the move of another Canadian to head up a TV division at MGM in L.A. Earlier this year, former Citytv exec Roma Khanna landed at MGM as president of its TV and digital group after restructuring of the Hollywood studio.
