In two significant hires that speak to the company’s ambitions, CEO Mike Lang (pictured) has brought on NBC Universal’s former evp of international new media Minehart and installed Universal’s former director of acquisitions Wilcox.

As svp of global digital Minehart will build out the recently announced Miramax eXperience Facebook app and will supervise Miramax.com and oversee all digital initiatives and sales as the company continues to exploit the library across emerging platforms.

Meanwhile it is understood Wilcox has arrived and will serve as vp of acquisitions, accompanying Lang to festivals as they scour the market for product.

Minehart reports directly to CEO Mike Lang and will work closely with evp Eric Doctorow and svp of sales Joe Patrick.
