Previously serving as the senior director of marketing, Kumaria has been with the company since 2013 and now takes on the additional role of managing content distribution. In her new position she will handle all Hollywood Suite’s distributor contacts as well as overseeing relationships with the company’s cable, IPTV and satellite partners.

The senior director of content distribution position was previously held by Jeremy McCarthy, who departed the company last week. Kumaria has now been promoted and the positions merged.

Prior to joining Hollywood Suite, Kumaria worked at Astral Television Networks as the affiliate marketing manager and Insight Sports as the senior director of affiliate and content distribution.

Hollywood Suite launched its rebrand in November – switching its U.S. studio-based branding in favour of a decade-focused approach – ahead of the introduction of a la carte channel pricing in 2016.
