Sally Habbershaw, recently appointed Mediawan’s Chief Distribution Officer, will lead the company’s international distribution activities and be responsible for the group’s global content sales and acquisitions strategy.

Mediawan’s core strategic ambition is to expand a leading English-language content pipeline and forge impactful global partnerships. To champion this strategy, Habbershaw will be supported by Mediawan’s distribution teams based in France and Germany, in addition to the appointment of two senior executives: Dan Selig, as Senior Vice President Distribution, Americas, and Glen Hansen as Senior Vice President Distribution, APAC.  They will spearhead Mediawan’s strategic expansion across the Americas and APAC respectively with a focus on content partnerships, format sales, and regional co-productions.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Dan and Glen to Mediawan. Their extensive experience in sales and strategic partnerships will play a pivotal role in expanding our footprint across the Americas and APAC. They bring outstanding reputations, exceptional editorial acumen, strong negotiating chops and an infectious passion for the industry,” said Habbershaw, Chief Distribution Officer Mediawan Group.

He also held sales positions at Paramount Pictures and Eyemark Entertainment which was the syndication arm of CBS Television.
