OTTAWA – With less than a month until the Prime Time In Ottawa conference kicks off, organizers said Monday that FremantleMedia International CEO Jens Richter will join Blue Ant Media’s Raja Khanna for the Friday morning keynote conversation about emerging trends and opportunities for content in international markets and across multiple platforms.
Richter’s experience encompasses global production, packaging, co-financing, distribution and acquisition strategies. As the CEO of FremantleMedia International, he oversees the global distribution of the company’s finished programming and home entertainment catalogue while managing the sales and acquisitions teams across the US, UK, EMEA, Asia and Australia.
“From programme sales of the Idol, Got Talent and X Factor franchises, to drama, lifestyle and digital, FremantleMedia International is a global industry leader that has flourished under the leadership of Jens Richter," said CMPA president and CEO Reynolds Mastin, in the announcement. “His unique perspective on the global marketplace for all genres of content is the ideal keynote to kick off a full day of discussions focused on international opportunities for Canadian creators.”
Prime Time in Ottawa will take place February 3 – 5, 2016 at The Westin in Ottawa.
