SK Global Promotes Elizabeth Haggard to Head of Film

SK Global, the independent film and television studio known for releases including “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Anyone but You,” announced June 10 that Elizabeth Haggard has been promoted to Executive Vice President and Head of Film. The company said in the announcement that Haggard will oversee SK Global’s narrative film slate in her new position, shifting from her prior role as Senior Vice President of Film.

Deadline reported the promotion as an internal leadership change at SK Global, noting that Haggard joined the company in 2025 and, most recently, served as Senior Vice President of Film. In that earlier role, the studio said she focused on expanding its narrative slate while continuing to oversee existing projects, aligning her portfolio with the broader responsibilities of the new executive post.

In the June announcement, SK Global characterized the head-of-film position as central to its narrative development, production, and slate management. Haggard’s promotion places her as the senior executive directly responsible for how the studio prioritizes and stewards film projects moving through development and production.

The appointment comes after Haggard’s prior industry work at Participant, according to Variety. In September 2022, Variety reported that Participant promoted Haggard to Senior Vice President of narrative film, a step that preceded her later move to SK Global in 2025. Together, the reports show a continuing focus on narrative film oversight across her executive career.

SK Global’s slate leadership role matters to multiple stakeholders, including filmmakers, production staff, and distributors, because executive control over slate decisions can affect what projects get financed, scheduled, and brought forward for marketing and release. For investors and partners, a single executive seat often concentrates reporting and decision-making, particularly around budget allocation and production timelines.

Deadline did not specify which projects or titles fall under Haggard’s day-to-day management as head of film. It also did not provide details on whether the studio would add further executives or restructure responsibilities within its film group as part of the promotion.

With Haggard now positioned as the executive overseeing SK Global’s narrative film slate, the next operational steps will likely be carried out through the studio’s standard development and production pipeline, including internal planning for upcoming productions and slate rollouts consistent with the company’s ongoing project portfolio.
