Victoria Gold, a former co-publisher of the Hollywood Reporter, will be joining Variety next month as the senior vice president of entertainment and special projects. Gold’s appointment marks her return to Variety after an eight-year tenure where she previously worked in film sales from 1998 to 2006. In her new role, she will succeed Dawn Allen, a respected Variety sales executive who is retiring after 35 years. Gold’s expertise in the film industry and her deep understanding of Variety make her a natural choice for the position. She will be responsible for building upon the company’s tremendous success and momentum as an iconic entertainment brand.
