According to Variety, NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke has been named head of Amazon Studios. Salke will oversee all television and film production for Amazon’s entertainment arm, reporting to Jeff Blackburn, Amazon’s senior VP of business development and digital entertainment. She fills the role that opened in early November when longtime Amazon Studios head Roy Price was forced out amid sexual harassment allegations. Jeff Blackburn issued the following statement…

“What stood out about Jen was the deep relationships she has nurtured with creators and talent over her career, spanning NBCU, 20th Century Fox, and Aaron Spelling Productions. She’s built an impeccable reputation as a big leader who emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and teamwork.”
