At her own request, Deb Schindler, President of Sony International Motion Picture Production, will transition from London back to New York to be closer to her family. “My position will change to that of a consultant so that I will remain connected to the division and studio I love,” Schindler tells me. She has been with Sony Pictures Entertainment since 2004, when she headed up East Coast motion picture production and development for Columbia Pictures. In April 2007, she was named President of Sony Picture International Motion Picture Group (fka Local Language Production).





Truly a class act. Glad she is back home where she belongs.
Deborah is one of the most clever people I know. She immersed herself in her job 100% from the moment she took over from Gareth Wigan. She is not only a great executive but an excellent person and a delight to spend time with. She understands the process and is the first to acknowledge everyone’s contribution. She is a refreshing individual. I wish her well. She will be missed in Moscow. – Sabik
So will her position be replaced or does Sony expect to stay away from the local language business as some of Sony’s international branches have disappeared?
