The Mill promotes 3; Yeater now managing director

Jared Yeater, the Mill’s new managing director

AFTER A YEAR IN CHICAGO, The Mill is celebrating what its CEO, Robin Shenfield, calls “an incredibly warm welcome by strengthening the team and recognizing the fantastic role that Jared Yeater has played in building and leading The Mill Chicago.”

That recognition was naming him managing director, a new title, from executive producer. 

Also promoted: Andrew Sommerville to head of production, a new position, from senior producer and Krystina Wilson, who moves back from The Mill-New York, takes over Yeater’s former executive producer’s role. 

Sommerville was part of the crew that came here from London and Wilson earlier had been EP at Method Chicago.

Shenfield adds: “We served our Midwest clients for many years from our New York, LA and London studios, but it was a big step for us to open in Chicago. We are now an amazing team of 40 in place and some great work under our belts.”
