Julie Fitzjohn

COO at Acamar Films

Julie started her career at KPMG London in the Financial Services area, where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Julie’s ensuing career has included roles at Universal Music and Sony Music. At Sony, she worked as a label business analyst within the Epic and S2 label divisions, with projects including many large-scale artist renegotiations. Julie also spent two years as part of Sony Corporation’s internal audit team and carried out reviews of numerous Sony music, TV, and film companies worldwide.

More recently, Julie has concentrated on Finance Director appointments in entrepreneurial or start-up companies within the creative industries. These have included five years at Global Talent Group (now Global Radio) where, among other projects, she worked on the purchase of Chrysalis Radio, and four years at Metropolis Group Limited where the management team completed a buy-out of the business. As part of that buy-out process, Julie worked on raising private equity finance, a sale and leaseback of the property, and the subsequent sale of the company to new investors. Since joining Acamar in 2014, Julie has overseen the running of the finance and corporate finance teams where she has been responsible for the day-to-day operations of both functions as well as Acamar’s corporate finance initiatives.
