To address the group’s development plans and “strengthen the synergies” between the various Canal+ regions (now operating in 52 countries), Maxime Saada, CEO of Canal+, has extended the undertakings of the Management Board.

Jacques du Puy, Amandine Ferré and Anna Marsh have also taken on new responsibilities as outlined:

Du Puy, Member of the Management Board, is now in charge of 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. This division steers the performance of the global pay-TV activity and aims, on the one hand, to provide a transversal vision of all pay-TV and telecommunication activities (in the French Overseas Territories and in Africa), on the other hand, to leverage the wealth of expertise from the group’s various pay-TV teams.

Ferré, Member of the Management Board, 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, which report directly to her.

Marsh, Member of the Management Board, has been appointed Chief Content Officer of Canal+, in addition to her responsibilities as Deputy CEO of Canal+ and CEO of StudioCanal. This new role has four objectives: to strengthen the deployment of a global content strategy at group level; facilitate the integration of global content while respecting the specifics of each region; optimise the sharing of know-how between local and central teams; and finally, identify success factors for acquisitions and productions based on Canal+ data.

Saada commented: “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.”
