Michelle Raimo Kouyate has stepped down as President of Production at Sony Pictures Animation, a rep for the studio told TheWrap.
After five years in her post, Raimo Kouyate will transition to a producer role with a first-look deal at SPA.
During her tenure, the company released titles like “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” “The Smurfs” and the Adam Sandler-voiced “Hotel Transylvania.”
Raimo Kouyate will oversee the shuffle with her yet-to-be-named replacement, then focus solely on “Medusa” with director Lauren Faust (“My Little Pony”). Other projects on SPA’s slate include a sequel to “Transylvania” that opens later this year, as well as an animated take on the nativity story.
