Portfolio picks two for sales team

Canada’s Portfolio Entertainment has hired a number of execs to strengthen its distribution operations.

Donnie MacIntyre

Donnie MacIntyre has joined the children’s entertainment specialist in the newly created role of VP of sales and business development, while Morgan White has arrived as international distribution manager.

MacIntyre will be responsible for the sale of the company’s catalogue of original and acquired programmes as well as providing strategic guidance to grow its distribution division through new ventures and partnerships.

He previously held a similar role at Toronto-based MarbleMedia’s international sales arm, Distribution360, and has also worked at SK Films, Walt Disney and Rogers Communications.

White brings to Portfolio more than a decade of experience in international and domestic delivery for traditional and digital platforms. He was most recently at Vice Media, while previous employers include Tricon Films and Television.

The two recruits come to Portfolio as its in-house animation studio begins production on a slate of new IP to hit the market in 2019. In May, the company added former Arc Productions exec Marianne Culbert as VP of production, overseeing the production of all Portfolio’s animated properties.
