Jamie Stevens to step down as Sony Pictures’ Worldwide Consumer Products executive, last day set for Sept. 4

Sony Pictures Worldwide Consumer Products executive Jamie Stevens will depart the studio after leading the company’s worldwide consumer products organization for about a decade, the entertainment industry publication Deadline reported on July 24. Deadline said Stevens will step down from her role as EVP of Worldwide Consumer Products and that her last day at Sony Pictures will be September 4.

Stevens joined Sony Pictures in 2016, Deadline reported, and since then has led the studio’s worldwide consumer products work spanning film and television. The consumer products unit supports licensing and other brand extensions tied to Sony’s screen productions, according to the organization described in the report.

Deadline also stated that Stevens’ departure follows her expanded leadership of the studio’s worldwide consumer products organization across both film and television content during her tenure. The report did not cite a reason for the change beyond the executive’s planned stepping down.

Sony Pictures said Stevens’ replacement will be announced at a later date, Deadline reported. The studio’s statement, as described in the publication, did not specify an interim executive to oversee the Worldwide Consumer Products post or a timeline for naming the successor beyond the later announcement.

While the company did not outline immediate operational changes in Deadline’s report, the Worldwide Consumer Products function is closely tied to how studios translate screen titles into broader consumer offerings, including merchandise and licensing partnerships. A leadership transition at that level can affect planning cycles for upcoming releases and the coordination of brand licensing strategies across markets.

The departure arrives as entertainment companies continue to rely on consumer and retail licensing revenue alongside box office and streaming. In that context, Sony Pictures’ decision to name Stevens’ exit date and manage the transition through a later successor announcement is part of how major studios handle continuity for ongoing licensing relationships and campaign timing.

Deadline’s report included an image of Stevens accompanying the announcement. No further details were provided in the publication about whether Stevens will take another role elsewhere after leaving Sony Pictures.

The company is expected to address how the Worldwide Consumer Products organization will be run following Sept. 4, including who will report into the unit and how responsibilities will be allocated until a new executive is named, according to the succession approach described by Deadline.
