Williams, an entertainment attorney, has worked in business affairs at Amazon Studios, UTA, Endemol Shine North America and the former Viacom (Comedy Central and BET Networks).

The move comes after the studio gained momentum following the release of its first feature film, Air. Skydance Sports partners with NFL and NFL Films to expand programming across multiple platforms, starting with documentaries NFL Draft: The pick is now in for the Roku channel and Kelce for Prime Video and the upcoming series telling the story of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the Cowboys team.

“As our momentum continues to grow, these key executive appointments will play a critical role as we continue to build the world’s leading sports content studio,” said Skydance Sports CEO Jason Reed, who joined David Ellison’s Skydance Media division last year. “I’m pleased to announce Ashley’s well-deserved promotion and welcome Marjorie to the Skydance Sports team.”

Nendick will now oversee all financial and accounting operations for the Sports division, playing a role in the division’s strategic development and upcoming projects, including the production of top-quality scripted and unscripted sports content, documentaries and events.

Williams will lead all business and legal affairs related to the development, production and distribution of films, television programming and documentaries for the division, and will also focus on Skydance Sports operations.
