EXCLUSIVE: BRON Studios has hired former Paramount and Revolution Studios exec Rona Cosgrove as Chief Business Affairs Officer. In the new post she will oversee business affairs for all film and TV activities for the BRON group of companies, working from the Los Angeles HQ and reporting to BRON chairman Aaron L. Gilbert.
Cosgrove was most recently EVP and Head of Business Affairs at Paramount Pictures, where she negotiated development, acquisition, co-production, animation and talent deals, and worked on franchises including Mission: Impossible, Transformers and Star Trek.
