TV executive Anita Jacoby has landed a second big role in recent days, with her appointment as managing director of the Australian arm of production house ITV Studios.

Jacoby – for a long time the business partner of Andrew Denton at Zapruder’s Other Films – was earlier this month named as a part time member of the Australian Communications and media Authority.

She left Zapruder’s – the company behind the Gruen Transfer franchise – when it merged with Cordell Jigsaw to form CJZ last year.

Jacoby – who starts on September 30 – will replace Leonie Lowe.

A great appointment for a top talent in the Australian media and television landscape. What Anita doesn’t know about making great TV isn’t worth knowing. A truly decent woman, too. Congratulations.
