News Image
True North has appointed former Channel 4 Growth Fund Exec Norma Wisnevitz as their new Chief Operating Officer.

Wisnevitz who until recently held the role of Senior Portfolio Manager at Channel 4's Indie Growth Fund will take up her new role at True North this month.

In her role Wisnevitz will work with the company's Creative Directors to steer the company through its next phase of growth, as it builds on its reputation as the biggest factual supplier outside of London, and pushes ahead with plans to expand its slate into the US and other international territories.

In her role at the Channel 4 Indie Growth Fund, Norma worked across their investment portfolio – on both new investments and as portfolio manager and board observer across the portfolio..

Prior to joining Channel 4, Norma was Finance Director at UK and US television production company Optomen Television, where she helped grow the business and sell it to All3Media. She started her career in the UK, working in finance at Talkback Productions (now Fremantlemedia).
