Canal+ reshuffles management board to boost global synergy

ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX - Canal+ S.A., the French media and entertainment conglomerate, announced a strategic reshuffle of its management board to enhance the company’s global operations and synergies across its 52-country footprint. The move, effective since March 1, 2025, aims to consolidate the group’s PayTV and content strategy under the leadership of newly appointed executives.

Jacques du Puy, a veteran member of the management board, has taken the helm of Global PayTV, a newly formed division that consolidates all PayTV activities, including those in France, Poland, Central Europe, Africa, and Asia. This division’s mandate is to streamline the group’s PayTV and telecommunication activities, leveraging expertise from the various regional teams.

In tandem with the operational changes, Amandine Ferré, the group’s Chief Financial Officer and board member responsible for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), now oversees all financial functions across the group’s entities. Ferré’s expanded role is pivotal in steering the financial strategy of the global media company.

Anna Marsh, who concurrently serves as Deputy CEO of Canal+ and CEO of STUDIOCANAL, has been appointed Chief Content Officer. Her new responsibilities involve spearheading a global content strategy, integrating content across regions while maintaining local specificity, optimizing knowledge-sharing, and using data analytics to inform acquisitions and productions.

Maxime Saada, CEO of Canal+, expressed confidence in the new structure, stating that it is designed to capitalize on the company’s expanded global presence and subscriber base, which has doubled over the past decade to nearly 27 million subscribers in over 50 countries.

The reorganization is part of Canal+’s broader strategy to adapt to the evolving media landscape and maintain its competitive edge in the global market. The company, which started as a French subscription-TV channel 40 years ago, has grown into a media powerhouse with a significant presence in Pay-TV, film and television production, and OTT platforms.
