US - The 17-year alum of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sara Kozak will be launching Hudson House Media in the summer of 2024. The new TV consultancy firm will offer management consultancy and strategic troubleshooting, focusing on unscripted content.

Kozak had been responsible for ID and Max’s nonfiction content as senior vice president (VP) and head of production at WBD. Kozak managed thousands of hours of unscripted content like Evil Lives Here, House of Hammer and The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. The 30-year veteran of television production will advise production executives on all aspects of team building and management, and commissioning and development at Hudson House Media.

Before WBD, Kozak had been a series producer at BBC Productions USA. Titles that saw her involvement include TLC’s What Not to Wear, three seasons of While You Were Out, and the first season of BBC’s Saturday Kitchen in 2002, which she produced.

At WBD before joining the ID team, the executive producer had been senior executive producer for Discovery Channel, and led series and specials like Two Weeks in Hell, Destroyed in Seconds and UFOs Over Earth. As senior executive producer at TLC, Kozak helped with the launch of the channel’s reality series Say Yes to the Dress. Kozak was also the VP of production for Discovery’s Emerging Networks, executive producing series like Through the Wormhole. Kozak left WBD in 2023.

Kozak said, “Fifteen years with ID… has been invaluable experience, but I’ve also helmed historical and military [documentaries] and spent years as an [executive] on successful formats for Discovery Channel and TLC, not to mention several years producing highly successful food programs at the BBC. I want to use this abundance of experience, team building and management to good use in the future, whether it’s helping U.K. production companies expand into the U.S. market or simply troubleshooting a series or feature doc.”
