Untold Studios has appointed Farah Ramzan Golant as its new Chair.
Golant succeeds Kerry Glazer, whose five-year tenure as Chair “has been instrumental in shaping the company’s future.”
Golant’s career began with 22-years at Omnicom-owned AMV BBDO, where she rose from entry-level to become Chief Executive and Executive Chairman. She later became CEO of All3Media, where her leadership fuelled significant growth for the company and achieved an exit for Private Equity owners, Permira.
Golant subsequently became the CEO of Nike’s non-profit, Girl Effect, accelerating its reach and impact for over 50 million people in the global south. Most recently, she served as President of the creative network Kyu. She is currently a Special Advisor to Private Equity firm, Advent and is a Board Director of their Ad Tech company Seedtag.
She was awarded a CBE in 2011. She was also named Business Woman of the Year in 2010 at the Asian Women of Achievement Awards and served on the UK Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Group, where she provided counsel on key business issues. Additionally, she represented the UK as Business Ambassador for the Creative Industries.
“We couldn’t be more delighted to welcome Farah Ramzan Golant to Untold Studios. Farah’s remarkable career in driving growth, igniting innovation, and building dynamic creative cultures makes her an outstanding addition to our team. Her insights and experience will be invaluable as we move forward,” said Darren O’Kelly, CEO and Founder of Untold Studios. “I also want to extend my deepest thanks to outgoing Chair Kerry Glazer, whose exceptional leadership has laid the strong foundations on which we continue to build.”
“Untold Studios is a future-facing company which is transforming the profile and pedigree of the creative industry,” said Farah Ramzan Golant. “The unique blend of artistic vision, state of the art technology and ambition creates a powerful formula for success. Led by an exceptional team who are committed to pushing boundaries, Untold is perfectly positioned to win in a rapidly evolving landscape. I’m excited by the pioneering mindset and the potential for exponential growth.”
