Xilam restructures sales operation

Oggy and the Cockroaches producer and distributor Xilam has restructured its sales operation to cover specific geographical regions and territories.

New recruit Jessica Delahaie as executive VP, media distribution, EMEA and Canada. She joins from Mediatoon Distribution, having previously been at French kids channel Canal J.

Xilam has handed Marie-Laure Marchand, who joined the Paris-based company in March, responsibility for sales in Asia, as senior VP, global consumer products and media distribution. She also handles the US and UK for Xilam.

Elsewhere within the Xilam sales team, Leyla Formoso will be vice president, media distribution, Latin America and Iberia. Giulia Fittante has been promoted to sales manager.

Xilam, which was founded and is helmed by Marc du Pontavice, has six series in production and although best known for animation, has also moved into live action with its If I Were an Animal series.
