Parthenon Bolsters German Operation

LONDON, June 11: Parthenon
Entertainment’s German arm has announced two new hires as it looks to ramp up
its business in the run-up to DISCOP.

Parthenon Germany, led by
Christine von Preyss, acquires content for distribution and generates sales.
Joining the team are Mirjam Muetzel as senior sales manager, following a stint at Telcast Media
Group, and Angela Weiss as a rights expert.

Both
will report to von Preyss, who handles Parthenon’s European acquisitions and
partners with Peter Pas, Parthenon’s commercial director, in co-producing with
and selling to the German-speaking markets. Pas noted: “It has long been our
aim to consolidate our recent growth in the dynamic German market and to
benefit from the opportunities Eastern Europe has to offer. Expanding our
Munich office seemed the most logical solution. Mirjam has an excellent track
record and reputation and I am very pleased that she is to become part of the
team. She has the drive and personality to succeed in this ever-changing and
often very demanding territory.”
