Nicholas Carpou, Universal’s President of Domestic Distribution, to Retire
Industry veteran Nicholas Carpou is retiring from his post as President of Domestic Distribution at Universal Pictures, the studio announced Tuesday.
Carpou has been with the studio for more than 35 years and will assume an advisory role beginning in October. Current Executive Vice President and General Sales Manager Jim Orr will step into the role vacated by Carpou. Universal’s President and Chief Distribution Officer Peter Levinsohn will take on an expanded role.
“Even though he has the fatal flaw of being a lifelong San Francisco Giants fan, Nick has been my friend and trusted advisor since I joined the company,” said Jeff Shell, Chairman, Universal Filmed Entertainment Group, in a statement.
