Day leads Prime Video international originals
April 8, 2025
Prime Video has expanded Kelly Day’s role following the recent surprise departure of Jennifer Salke.
Day, who joined Prime Video in 2022, will take on Prime Video’s international originals, in addition to her current duties as VP of Prime Video International. The division was previously led by James Farrell who also recently departed the company, leaving his role as head of international at Amazon Studios.
In a memo to staff, Prime Video head Mike Hopkins said Day would lead the search for a new VP of international originals, who will report to Day once appointed.
“Since first launching in 2016, international originals have consistently delivered an outsized impact in so many of our territories around the world,” added Hopkins in the memo. “From The Grand Tour to Mirzapur to Last One Laughing, these local titles have been central to our international growth strategy, engaging audiences and acquiring new customers in more than 20 countries around the world […] Importantly, these titles add great depth to our quality content selection for global customers, deliver new audiences to Prime Video as we continue to grow internationally, and help us deliver on our ambition to be the first-stop destination for entertainment worldwide. While we’re pleased with the global performance of our international originals, we’re even more excited about what’s to come.”
