FremantleMedia France names COO

FremantleMedia France has appointed France Télévisions executive Damien Cuier as its chief operating officer.

Cuier replaces Bouchra Rejani, who left the group last June to join Shine France, and will report to Monica Galer, Fremantle’s CEO for Northern and Southern Europe.

Cuier has been France Télévisions’ MD since 2005, overseeing finance and human resources.

Several top executives have left France Télévisions recently. The public broadcaster is undergoing a major reorganisation following the appointment in August of new president Rémy Pflimlin.

Other recent departures included France Télévisions’ director of scheduling and acquisitions Thierry Langlois, who joined funding body Centre National du Cinéma et de l’image Animée as director of audiovisual.
