French pay-TV giant Canal+ has appointed Anna Marsh as Chief Content Officer as part of review of its management board.
Anna Marsh has been appointed Chief Content Officer in addition to her responsibilities as Deputy CEO of Canal+ and CEO of Studiocanal.
The appointment was one of several changes to its management team that Canal+ said would “strengthen the synergies between the various Canal+ regions, now operating in 52 countries.”
Jacques du Puy, meanwhile, has been handed responsibility for Global PayTV, a new division bringing together all Canal+’s pay TV activities, namely those in France, Poland, Central Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania), Africa and Asia.
Amandine Ferré, Chief Financial Officer of Canal+ and responsible for CSR, is now in charge of all the financial functions of the group and all its entities.
Maxime Saada, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Canal+, said: “Canal+ has grown considerably in recent years. In ten years, the group has doubled its number of subscribers, reaching nearly 27 million in more than 50 countries. This new organisation should enable us to fully leverage the beneficial effects of Canal+’s global footprint by strengthening the synergies between all its regions. I would like to congratulate the Members of the Management Board on their new responsibilities.”
