With Ravi’s support and our incredible teams, SPT is well positioned to build on its rich legacy in this dynamic marketplace. I am energised by the opportunities ahead.”

    Le Goy joined Sony in 1999 after serving as vice president of sales for Europe at Disney. Throughout his career, he has championed innovative distribution models, emphasised local-language productions in Latin America, and played a key role in expanding SPE’s global footprint.
