“There’s no question that with her extensive experience, adaptability and understanding of the current and future issues in our industry, Brigitte will drive the continued development of our channels and take them to the next level,” said Corus Media president Mario Cecchini, in Tuesday’s announcement. “She will also assume responsibility for strategic management and relationships with stakeholders in the sector, who are partners in our growth and will help us fulfill the potential of the Historia and Séries+ channels.”
