Chief Producer of NTV Timur Weinstein won one of the world’s most prestigious television awards, the Content Innovation Awards, in the category Lifetime Achievement Awards, for making significant contributions to the development of the international television industry.
Weinstein is an iconic personality in Russian media business. He founded the Lean-M production center and WeiT Media company, and became the only Russian producer who has sold businesses to international companies not once, but twice, with Lean-M going to Sony Pictures Television and WeiT Media to the Dutch media giant Endemol Shine Group.
He took the helm of NTV in 2015, kicking off a wide-reaching transformation of the channel’s content. A new line of high-quality projects was aired under his leadership.
In total, Weinstein has worked on more than 300 television projects, most of which have aired in prime time on the largest Russian TV channels.
