Exclusive: Former TWC exec to join as co-md, Upip, alongside Peter Kujawski.
Robert Walak, recently departed from TWC, is to join Universal Pictures International Productions as co-managing director alongside La-based MD Peter Kujawski.
Following a record-breaking year at the international box office, the appointment by Universal is a statement of intent and further bolsters the international division, which lost UK-based president David Kosse to Film4 last year.
London-based Walak will begin in the role in December and report to Universal chairman Donna Langley.
Like Kujawski, Walak will be tasked with expanding the studio’s global presence through internationally oriented acquisitions, productions and local-language product.
Walak stepped down from his post at TWC earlier this month after two years at the company, most recently as managing director Europe/president production, acquisitions and television.
He joins Universal as the studio is riding a phenomenal wave, both domestically and on the international stage.
