After a busy year that’s seen the Canal+ Group complete a wave of acquisitions across two continents, Anna Marsh, the CEO of Studiocanal and the deputy CEO and chief content officer for Canal+, insisted such moves have been instrumental in strengthening the position of the French media giant at a time of unprecedented industry disruption.

“It’s really important to have a fresh perspective. People that are going to challenge the status quo. Because the business is moving so fast,” said the New Zealand-born exec, who appeared in conversation at Rome’s MIA Market on Wednesday with MIA head Gaia Tridente.
