The company said Wednesday that Glotzer will head the corporate development team at the studio, overseeing studio investments and analyses, mergers and acquisitions, new business development and strategic planning. She was senior vp corporate development.

She replaces Jim Underwood, who in March made the move to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, where he is now executive vp worldwide digital and commercial strategy. 

“Lauren’s strategic guidance has been invaluable in keeping the studio nimble and innovative, streamlining our operations, expanding our consumer offerings and investing in key businesses," Hendler said. "Her promotion is well deserved.”
