A+E hires Sky Vision exec for copros

International channels operator A+E Networks has hired a former Sky Vision exec to lead its new focus on international scripted coproductions.

Moreyba Bidessie

Moreyba Bidessie has joined the firm as director of scripted development and sales and will be based in London.

Reporting to Richard Tulk-Hart, MD of international content sales and coproductions, Bidessie will expand A+E’s drama proposition by cultivating its scripted acquisitions strategy to add to the current slate of originals from production arm A+E Studios.

Additionally, she will help foster development deals with key on- and off-screen talent and will build on existing producer relationships to source and create scripted projects for the international marketplace. She will also oversee development and production of all projects A+E Networks has invested in as a coproducer.

Bidessie previously served as scripted acquisitions manager at Sky Vision, a role in which she developed scripted acquisitions across all the company’s businesses. Prior to Sky, she worked as an acquisitions executive at Fox International Channels.

Her appointment comes at a time of flux for A+E Networks following the departure of long-term international exec Sean Cohan to Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse Entertainment.
