In the new role, Stinchcomb is tasked with further growing the streaming service, which features original documentary films and series exploring science, technology, history, nature, health and more. Stinchcomb will report directly to John Hendricks, founder and executive chairman of CuriosityStream.

“As CuriosityStream accelerates its growth through direct-to-consumer streaming and through our expanding group of domestic and international distributors, I can think of no one more experienced and talented to lead the organization as CEO than Clint Stinchcomb,” said Hendricks in a statement.

Additionally, Elizabeth Hendricks North, who led CuriosityStream as president and CEO from its inception, is moving into the role of president of Curiosity Studios.
