Wheelhouse Entertainment is making changes in its C-suite.
The unscripted-focused studio founded by Brent Montgomery has named Courtney White president. White will add oversight of all Wheelhouse U.S production labels including Spoke Studios, new True Crime production venture Twist and Wheelhouse DNA, the company’s digital and audio division. She will also help manage Wheelhouse’s physical production partnerships, including Chef David Chang’s Majordomo Media, and NBA star Anthony Edwards’ Three Fifths Media.
White will also continue to run lifestyle firm Butternut, the venture she launched with Wheelhouse in 2022.
Wheelhouse also promoted Glenn Hugill to chief content officer and president of Wheelhouse Studios, its international content hub. Hugill will oversee creative development and production of global formats, based in London. Both White and Hugill will report to Montgomery.
“Our goal is to always blaze new trails and by fortifying our core business with the incredible leadership of Courtney and Glenn, who both in short order developed and executed our most exciting slate in company history, it will allow others of us to focus even further on other key priorities including sports, YouTube and the wider creator economy,” Montgomery said in a statement.
“I’ve been so fortunate to benefit from Wheelhouse’s bold ambition and total commitment to collaboration that inspires the very best in its creatives,” White added. “I’m incredibly excited to now deepen my contribution to the company and its immensely talented teams as we continue to forge new business paths, ignite groundbreaking partnerships and create hit content that leads the pop culture conversation.”
“Brent sold me on coming to Wheelhouse to help build out a team of trans-Atlantic creative Avengers and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” Hugill said. “We collaborate differently to share our superpowers across the entire group and it’s just thrilling to have the ability to plug into best-in-class business partners across the company – all experts in their genres. Meanwhile, the ability to now hatch our biggest and boldest global ideas out of the new international Wheelhouse Studios is a total homerun. Which is a baseball term, as I understand it.”
