The sales operation will continue to be headed up by Rodolphe Buet as chief distribution officer, while Alice Damiani, senior VP of international film sales, will support Buet in shaping the group’s international film distribution strategy.

Karine Lejeune has been named exec VP of French-speaking TV and film distribution. She will oversee all French-speaking territories, including Canada, and will coordinate the global relationships between the distribution teams and TF1 Group. Lejeune’s remit also includes continuing to develop the sales of audiovisual and film clips to clients.

Camille Dupeuble has been promoted to exec VP of international TV and digital distribution, with responsibility for sales in the rest of the world. She is also tasked with strengthening Studio TF1’s global streamer strategy.

Dupeuble will be supported by Nadia Chevallard, who expands her role as senior VP of international sales to oversee unscripted sales in addition to fiction sales. Karen Wise, meanwhile, will manage distribution in English-language and German markets as senior VP of distribution, and continue to lead its formats strategy.

Karine Atlan continues in her role as exec VP of acquisitions and international coproduction, as does exec VP of marketing Emilie Martel.

The company, which has over 50 prodcos, rebranded as Studio TF1 in late January.
