Kelly Day, who stepped down as head of Viacom Digital Studios in January, has landed at the company’s international networks, where she’ll be chief operating officer.
As a result, Melody Tan, who had served in that role for ViacomCBS Networks International, will depart the company. As Chief Operating Officer, Day will primarily be tasked with working with key stakeholders on accelerating the digital transformation of VCNI’s business following the ViacomCBS merger, strengthening the company’s digital and streaming operations.

I’m confident that with the addition of Kelly to our newly streamlined leadership team, ViacomCBS Networks International will continue to deliver growth by licensing our brands, content and IP in the highest value and fastest-growing international markets as we accelerate our streaming strategy.”
Stefanie Schwartz previously took over for Day at VDS as executive VP and general manager.
