Marco Bassetti
CEO
Banijay

Its extensive premium catalogue includes Survivor, Big Brother, Peaky Blinders, MasterChef, SAS Rogue Heroes, Mr Bean, Love Triangle, Hunted, Black Mirror, Blow Up! and Starstruck.
With a strong track record in the international content business, Bassetti’s television career took off in the early 1980s as an executive producer for Mondadori’s Rete Quattro before moving to Mediaset. In 1986, he founded his own production company, La Italiana Produzioni, and a few years later set up Aran. Between 1994 and 1997, he was CEO of Pearson TV Italy and in December 1997 launched Endemol Italy, working as managing director and then president until May 2004, when he stepped down to dedicate more time to entrepreneurial activities in Italy and abroad.
He remained on Endemol’s international board and in October 2007 returned to the group as chief operating officer and in August 2009 was appointed president before taking over the responsibilities of group CEO. After stepping down in 2012, he opened Ambra Multimedia before taking up the role of CEO at Banijay in 2013.
Under his stewardship, the business has grown and diversified significantly, reaching €3.2bn in revenues and €472m in EBITDA for 2022, with a 14.7% profit margin.
