Toronto-based 9 Story Entertainment has upped former production head Tanya Green to VP of production.

9 Story has been steadily increasing its production slate during Green’s five-year tenure, from two shows to 10, and the company has grown from 60 employees to 200.

With a growing company, it’s important to achieve a balance between a commitment to high-quality productions and financial interests, 9 Story president and CEO Vince Commisso told Playback.

“It’s one thing to do that when you have three or four shows going on – it’s a completely different thing to do it when you have 10. Tanya proved to us in no uncertain terms that she could do it with 10,” Commisso said.

Overall, Green has overseen 23 different productions at 9 Story and more than 450 episodes, including Almost Naked Animals, Daniel Tiger’s Neighbourhood and Wild Kratts. She will continue reporting to Commisso.

Green’s promotion follows last week’s announcement of 9 Story’s plans to launch an app based on the Monster Factory brand later this fall.
