Reporting directly to Arjan Pomper, MD of Global Entertainment, van Weede will oversee the day-to-day running of the format sales division with its catalogue of 285 shows.

The catalogue includes The Voice, Love Island, The Chase, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Come Dine With Me and recently launched shows including Rat in the Kitchen and My Mom Your Dad.

Van Weede is an experienced media sales professional who previously led the international film sales team at Canada-based eOne.

More recently she had her own media consultancy, through which she headed film distribution for media content financier Anton Corp and consulted for the Netherlands Film Fund.

Prior to this, she worked for Global Road Entertainment as president of international film sales, for eOne Features as senior VP of international sales and as head of sales for Protagonist Pictures, directing global sales and marketing efforts for in-house and third-party film distributions.

Pomper said: “Charlotte brings substantial international sales experience to the team and she will be a great addition to our organisation. With her leading the sales team, we can further build relationships with existing and new partners and grow our licensing business in a rapidly changing media landscape.”

Van Weede added: “The current developments in the unscripted format business – and in particular its growing demand for strong content that can entertain and move people – offer terrific opportunities for leading content creators like ITV Studios. I am therefore excited to join the company with its seasoned team, and to service its clients with tailor-made propositions for linear and on-demand to bring its extensive range of high-quality formats to audiences around the world.”
