Leading independent distributor All3Media International has announced a new executive appointment to support its digital ambitions.

Amanda Stevens has been promoted to the role of SVP Global Digital Partnerships in which she will spearhead the company’s Digital Publishing team’s partner management and lead its FAST channel team.
