Eurosport Strengthens Development Division
Eurosport Group’s newly-appointed chief executive officer Jean-Thierry Augustin has strengthened its development division with the appointment of Julien Bergeaud as development director, reporting directly to Augustin, while Arnaud Simon, managing director of Eurosport France, extends his responsibilities to become TV content director, broadcast and programmes.
The move comes in a bid to reinforce global coherence across all TV channels and the strength of Eurosport Group’s TV platform and offer.
In addition to his current responsibilities in charge of Eurosport France TV, Simon adds international as well as local versions of the channels to his remit.
Augustin was promoted to Group CEO earlier this month during a senior management reshuffle.
Meanwhile, Vincent Gérard-Hirne, technical director, takes over the responsibility for production and distribution technology for the different language versions of group channels.
Simon and Gérard-Hirne report to François Schmitt, deputy managing director, Eurosport Group, in charge of broadcast and technical means, with all changes effective immediately.
