DCD reshuffles exec sales team

International distributor DCD Rights has made a number of executive changes across its international sales staff.

The company has hired former MoMedia executive Michael Jackson as senior sales executive and has promoted Rick Barker as head of sales.

Jackson, who was previously handling European sales for the Endemol-backed digital distributor, will be covering sales of DCD Rights series including Australian drama The Slap, World of Jenks and Gator 911 in Benelux, Latin America, Japan and the Far East.

Barker, who has been with DCD Rights since 2006, will take over sales to Australia and New Zealand, while retaining key European and Nordic territories as head of sales.

Meanwhile, Angela Harvey will take responsibility for digital sales as well as in flight entertainment.
