Fox International Channels (FIC) has bolstered its content sales division with the appointment of Jess Khanom to head of global format sales, effective immediately.

In her new role, Khanom will be charged with promoting FIC’s stable of scripted and unscripted formats, which includes School for Husbands, F***ing Telemarketers and Lucky Ladies, as well as National Geographic Channel’s Brain Games, Street Genius, Car S.O.S and Science of Stupid.

Khanom will be based in London and report directly to Prentiss Fraser, FIC’s senior VP of global content sales.
