Mensah

Mensah is at the forefront of Netflix’s plans to scale up in the U.K., its third-biggest production site after the U.S. and Canada and where it committed to spend over $1 billion in 2021. An astute commissioner who has worked at Sky and the BBC on shows such as “Wallander,” “Patrick Melrose” and “Chernobyl,” she’s led the streamer’s U.K. scripted series team since 2018, working alongside film boss Fiona Lamptey. Her mandate is to source U.K. content that can find a global audience, such as “The Crown,” which swept the boards at this year’s Emmys, or “Sex Education.” Coming down the tracks are new seasons of “The Crown,” “After Life” and “Top Boy” as well as brand-new series including “Anatomy of a Scandal,” “Stay Close,” “Lockwood & Co.” and “Half Bad.”
