Sonia Friedman Productions unveils further team changes during ‘major restructure’

Sonia Friedman Productions has announced further changes to its senior leadership team as part of a wider restructure.

Pam Skinner, who has worked at the company for 19 years as international executive producer, will step down in early 2026. She will remain in post for the next six months to oversee the handover process.

The restructure also includes the appointment of Jack Dingle as managing director, a new role at the company. He will take up the position in November 2025, returning to SFP where he was previously finance director. Dingle will be responsible for strategic, commercial, financial and operational management.

The changes follow the recent appointment of Kash Bennett as executive director.

Friedman paid tribute to Skinner, stating: “Her intelligence, wisdom, humour and extraordinary judgment have guided this company through countless productions around the world. She has been a trusted colleague and a dear friend, and her departure marks the close of another extraordinary chapter in SFP’s story. I will miss her greatly, but I know her legacy will be felt for many years to come.

“At the same time, I am thrilled to welcome back Jack Dingle as our first managing director. Jack knows this company inside out, and his return – in this expanded leadership role – will be transformational. His knowledge of SFP, combined with his experience and passion, will help secure our long-term vision while ensuring we remain robust and ambitious in the short term. This appointment will allow me to focus more fully on our development, productions, our artists, our audiences and the art form we cherish.”
