Sony Pictures Television’s Chairman Keith Le Goy is set to join the esteemed lineup for Variety’s C-Suite Conversations series, which will take place during Mipcom in Cannes.
On October 13, the first day of the four-day event focused on the global TV and film market, Le Goy will engage in a one-on-one discussion with Variety co-Editor in Chief Cynthia Littleton at the Palais des Festivals.
The lineup also features Mediawan Pictures CEO Elisabeth d’Arvieu. The C-Suite Conversations event will culminate with the annual Variety Vanguard Award, which is awarded in partnership with Mipcom to an industry executive who has notably contributed to the growth of the global content sector. This year, the Vanguard Award will be presented to Marco Bassetti, CEO of Banijay Entertainment.
“Keith Le Goy is regarded as one of the most respected, impactful, and insightful dealmakers in the international arena,” commented Lucy Smith, director of Mipcom Cannes. “His strategic positioning away from the streaming landscape has allowed SPT to invest in innovative projects and take calculated risks, offering a unique perspective on the current industry dynamics, fresh opportunities, and the future trajectory of content creation.”
Le Goy assumed leadership of Sony’s television operations in January, marking a significant phase during the transition of leadership at Sony Pictures Entertainment, as CEO Ravi Ahuja succeeded Tony Vinciquerra, who will remain as chairman until the end of the year. With a long history at Sony TV since 1999, Le Goy has advanced through the ranks, gaining extensive international experience within distribution and marketing. Prior to his tenure at Sony, he served at Walt Disney Co. in Europe.
His keynote interview precedes the exclusive opening night screening at Mipcom of “The Miniature Wife,” a relationship dramedy from Sony Pictures TV, scheduled to premiere on Peacock next year. This much-anticipated screening will take place on the evening of October 13 at 6 p.m. local time in the Palais’ Grand Auditorium and is accessible to all attendees of Mipcom. “The Miniature Wife” features a talented cast, including Matthew Macfadyen, O-T Fagbenle, and Sian Clifford.
