She reports to Emmanuèle Petry, Dandeloo’s producer and head of international.

Moon was most recently a marketing & editorial team leader at French webtoon platform Delitoon, where she oversaw partnership development and rights management. Prior to that, she was deputy director at KOCCA and marketing manager at Paris-based Kotra.

The appointment comes a week after fellow French animation company Folivari revealed it has launched a new distribution arm, Folivari International, headed up by former Dandelooo exec Melissa Vega.

Vega was acquisitions and international sales manager at Dandelooo, where she spent 10 years developing the distribution department, and has represented titles such as Ernest And Celestine, Royals Next Door and Pompon Little Bear.

Petry said Moon would bring “her multicultural experience and boundless energy to promote the company’s growth and help our programs span screens globally.”

Moon added: “With a passion for fostering global connections and a commitment to delivering captivating content, I am eager to contribute to the dynamic world of children’s entertainment. Together with Dandelooo, I look forward to helping in creating imaginative and enriching experiences that will resonate with young audiences worldwide.”
