Radial Entertainment, the new media company formed from the merger of FilmRise and Shout Studios, has announced a slate of new executives to help guide its next phase of growth.
The company has named David Buoymaster as Chief Investment Officer, Johnny Holden as Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer, Dave McIntosh as Executive Vice President of Content and Business Affairs, and Max Pinigin as Chief Financial Officer.
The appointments were announced by Garson Foos, the CEO of Radial Entertainment, and are effective immediately. The executives arrive at a pivotal time for the company as it scales operations and pursues broader ambitions in content distribution.
“These key roles have been strategically structured to drive significant growth and unlock new opportunities as we grow Radial into one of the leading distributors in the industry. I am confident that our outstanding leadership team is poised to guide us toward tremendous growth,” Foos said in a statement on Monday.
David Buoymaster, who previously served as the Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Finance at FilmRise, will lead Radial’s content investment strategy as Chief Investment Officer. He will chair a newly formed Investment Committee and oversee company-wide business intelligence and data products. During his tenure at FilmRise, Buoymaster helped shape the company’s underwriting methods and distribution strategies, playing a key role in content acquisition and deal execution.
Johnny Holden steps into the role of Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer after serving as both Chief Strategy Officer and CFO at FilmRise. He is charged with leading all revenue-generating operations and setting long-term strategy, including expanding global partnerships and overseeing marketing. At FilmRise, Holden helped guide the company’s data-driven acquisition strategies and built out its footprint across more than 700 FAST channels and dozens of streaming platforms.
Dave McIntosh, now the Executive Vice President of Content and Business Affairs, will oversee content teams across FilmRise and Shout! Studios. A longtime executive at Shout, McIntosh previously served as EVP of Business and Legal Affairs. He played a central role in the company’s shift to multi-platform distribution and was instrumental in high-profile acquisitions including Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the Golden Princess film library.
Max Pinigin assumes the role of Chief Financial Officer after serving in the same position at Shout Studios. He will oversee financial planning, investor relations, and corporate development. Pinigin’s leadership was key to Shout’s recent expansion, including its merger into Radial Entertainment and the acquisition of Gravitas Ventures and other IP assets such as Open Road Films and Millennium Media content libraries.
