Quéneudec, who has been at the company since 2007, takes on responsibility for managing and developing the company’s local film production for release both in cinemas and on HBO Max.

He will report to Pierre Branco, country manager for France, Benelux, the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey, and will join the WarnerMedia France board.

Branco said WarnerMedia France has “great ambitions” to further accelerate its French film production.

Most recently, Quéneudec held the role of VP for TV and SVoD sales for the Warner, Turner and HBO catalogues in French-speaking territories.

He will now work with Olivier Snanoudj, senior VP of theatrical distribution, and Grégory Schuber, senior VP of marketing, data and innovation, and their respective teams.

Elsewhere in WarnerMedia France’s development team, Jordi Coleno has been appointed senior manager for local production, while Josselin Grandsire takes on the role of senior local production analyst to support Quéneudec. A development director is currently being recruited.

WarnerMedia France is set to release five films in 2022, including Simone: Le voyage du siècle in February, while numerous other projects are underway.

Quéneudec said: “Our ambition is to increase the number of French films that we are producing and we look forward to continuing to work with the best creative talent in the business.”
