Amazon hired former ProSiebenSat.1 MD Pfluger in March to lead its Prime Video operation in Germany, taking on part of the remit belonging to Christoph Schneider.

Reporting to Amazon’s VP of Prime Video in Europe, Barry Furlong, Pflüger oversaw the SVOD’s operations across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Its slate includes comedy show LOL – Last One Laughing, produced by Constantin Entertainment, as well as Fremantle’s We Children Of Bahnhof Zoo.

Announcing his departure on social media, Pflüger wrote: “Goodbye Amazon. – I’ve had an incredibly inspiring and insightful time at Prime Video. It’s been really eye-opening to discover an industry that I thought I knew so well, from a totally different perspective.”

Prior to Prime Video, Pfluger joined German broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1 in 2013 and took charge two years later, before moving to a new role overseeing production at sibling Seven.One Entertainment in May 2021.
