We are excited to announce that Maria Ishak has joined our staff as vice president of new business development.

Maria Ishak is a forward-thinking business strategist who has worked in television for more than 10 years and has a strong understanding of the industry’s changing facets. Having grown up in London and graduated from Bristol University with a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Sociology, Maria’s love and passion for visual storytelling took her straight into the world of television.
