KELLY WOM EN WOMEN IN HOME ENTERTAINMENT SOOTER EVP/General Manager, Worldwide Marketing, Paramount Home Entertainment Any studio would be happy to retain Kelly Sooter’s services. It’s Paramount that’s lucky enough to have her. Before being elevated to EVP and GM of worldwide marketing for Paramount Home Entertainment — where she oversees DVD content development, domestic and international brand marketing, and creative services — Sooter was EVP and GM of Paramount’s Home Entertainment domestic family business. Prior to that she led DreamWorks Home Entertainment as its domestic head, helping the company launch DVD in 1997. She also helped DreamWorks grow its home entertainment market share by a whopping 400% in five years, by expertly managing titles such as Saving Private Ryan, Shrek and Gladiator. Giant retail initiatives and unprecedented marketing campaigns under Sooter’s watch made DreamWorks DVDs must-haves, partly because Sooter made sure her studio knew as much about its DVD-buying customers as possible. “Theatrical always is challenged with trying to establish the story. For the DVD release, that’s already been established, so we can really focus on what we believe will help the movie find its audience,” she told Home Media Magazine in 2005. Before DreamWorks, Sooter spent eight years with Buena Vista Home Entertainment, first as a brand manager, then as executive director for retail marketing. She also oversaw Buena Vista’s Disney Interactive business, where she shepherded retail marketing, financial forecasting, sales, distribution and manufacturing. When Sooter was promoted to her current position last year, Kelley Avery, worldwide president of Paramount Home Entertainment, singled out Sooter’s “business acumen, retail knowledge, marketing expertise and creativity.” “Her expanded responsibilities will help us to continue to innovate and grow our business in the increasingly competitive global marketplace,” Avery said. Sooter is a CSU Northridge economics and journalism graduate. BETH BAIER Beth Baier has been with Warner Home Video for 16 years. She is SVP of business affairs and general counsel, leading a legal department of 43 employees and attorneys in three different countries. “Beth’s creativity, particularly with negotiating amid the complexity of today’s complicated digital and global landscape, is invaluable to our business,” said Ron Sanders, president of Warner Home Video. Baier was hard at work for the studio during the launch of DVD and was crucial to the studio’s set-up of international offices in China. Besides clearing legal hurdles for Warner’s new-media efforts, she also sits on the board of directors of Japanese corporation DVD FLLC Inc. Before joining Warner she was a litigator with O’Melveny & Myers in Los Angeles and a court clerk at the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Baier earned the 2003 Women in Leadership Award from the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. SVP, Business Affairs and General Counsel, Warner Home Video A LISON 20 BIGGERS Marketing home entertainment in North America can be a bear. Marketing overseas can be twice as hard. To handle the rest of the world, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment goes to Alison Biggers, SVP of international marketing. Biggers is called to manage all marketing efforts for DVD and Blu-ray Disc for Sony Pictures Studios, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group and Sony Pictures Television. Having joined Sony when it was Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment in 1999, Biggers, a graduate of UCLA, was promoted to the new position of VP of worldwide DVD marketing in 2002. Before that she had been executive SVP, International Marketing, Sony Pictures director of marketing for catalog and DVD product for the studio. She began her career with MGM Home Entertainment’s marketHome Entertainment ing team. Home Media Magazine September 21–27, 2008
