Lee Allentuck joins BBC Studios as VP of Consumer Products for North America

BBC Studios Brands & Licensing has appointed Lee Allentuck as VP of Consumer Products for North America.

He reports into Suzy Raia, SVP of Global Consumer Products.

“I am incredibly honoured and excited to join BBC Studios, an organisation renowned for its iconic brands and properties such as Bluey, Doctor Who, and Planet Earth,” said Allentuck.
