Chris Brearton will depart his role as vice president of PVS Corporate Strategy for MGM+ and MGM Alternative at Amazon, TheWrap has learned. He was in the position for 18 months.

After first joining MGM in February 2018, Brearton served as COO for four years, leading up to the 2022 acquisition by Amazon when he took on the new role that November. Brearton helped oversee MGM’s integration into Prime Video and Amazon Studios, and then took on leadership for corporate strategy across Prime Video and Studios, as well as MGM+ and MGM Alternative.

“Despite unprecedented disruption in our industry, we built an incredible and dedicated team at MGM that simply would not be denied,” Brearton wrote in a message to staffers.
