Exclusive: Viacom veteran Paula Kaplan is leaving Nickelodeon, where she most recently served as EVP of Nickelodeon Talent, I have learned.
I hear this was a personal decision Kaplan made, and she just informed her colleagues of her pending departure. It comes after Kaplan’s team helped mount the 2021 Kids’ Choice Awards ceremony this past weekend, which featured top talent. A new leadership for Nickelodeon’s department is expected to be announced shortly.
“Very few people get to work at an amazing company, much less get to work for the same company twice,” Kaplan said in the internal note, a copy of which was obtained by Deadline. “I have been incredibly fortunate to spend 25 years working with remarkable people, but I have decided now is the time for me to explore other creative opportunities. This year has revolutionized our industry and I am excited about all the possibilities that are unfolding.
