Jenny Groom, the former Executive Vice President of Unscripted Development at BBC Studios, is making a significant career move to Amazon MGM Studios. Groom has been appointed as the Head of MGM Alternative, a position that was previously held by Barry Poznick before he departed the company a year ago. Her new role is set to commence at the end of this month, marking a new chapter in her professional journey.

In her new capacity, Jenny Groom will report to Jenn Levy, who is the head of nonfiction at Amazon MGM Studios. Levy announced Groom's appointment in a memo to staff, highlighting that Groom will be responsible for overseeing several high-profile MGM titles, including popular shows such as "Survivor," "Shark Tank," and "The Voice."

Groom's extensive background in unscripted television, particularly her tenure at BBC Studios and NBCUniversal, positions her well to lead MGM's alternative programming efforts. Her experience in developing engaging content for major networks will be crucial as Amazon continues to expand its offerings in the competitive streaming landscape.S1S2
