Blue Ant International Hires Ludo Dufour for Sales, Co-Pros

Blue Ant International has appointed Ludo Dufour, who has spent eight years at Off the Fence, as senior VP of international co-productions and sales.

In this newly created post, Dufour will focus on co-productions, co-ventures, presales, new business development and distribution licensing in the U.S. He will work out of Blue Ant International’s Los Angeles office and report to Solange Attwood, executive VP of Blue Ant International.

Prior to his time at Off the Fence, he worked for MTV Networks International (now Viacom Media Networks International) in communications, international program sales and social responsibility.

“Ludo’s track record of building strong relationships with producers and buyers across all platforms and his passion for the industry make him an ideal addition to our team,” said Attwood. “His experience will help further our growth in the United States by bringing a diverse set of expertise to the table.”

“Blue Ant International is a fast-growing and internationally celebrated 21st-century company that adapts quickly and efficiently to the changing media landscape,” commented Dufour. “I am thrilled to be joining such a dynamic and pioneering team and look forward to my upcoming move to their L.A. office.”
