Quebecor Content Names VP of Development, Acquisitions & Distribution

Effective immediately, Luana Ann Church will now serve as the VP of development, acquisitions and distribution for Quebecor Content, Incendo and TVA Films.

“It is with great pride that I accept this role,” said Church. “It is an opportunity to take on a new challenge in an industry that I have come to know through my career at Quebecor, and in which I have developed a deep interest. I’m delighted to be able to make a contribution by continuing to expand the reach and value of our content on local and international markets. I will have the privilege of counting on solid teams already in place to support me in this mandate.”

Church joined Quebecor in 2011 and will now be responsible for content acquisition and distribution, as well as international development for Quebecor Content, Incendo and TVA Films. She played an active role in the acquisition of formats for TVA Group, such as The Voice, and the export of original Québec productions, such as Révolution.

Church is succeeding Yann Paquet, who announced his departure in the spring.

“The strength and quality of our content has always been a great source of pride and a key business priority for our company,” said Pierre Karl Péladeau, president and CEO of Quebecor. “We are delighted to be able to count on Luana Ann, who has distinguished herself at Quebecor for nearly 15 years, to take the reins in this highly strategic position. Her legal expertise, combined with her creative vision and keen business acumen, makes her the ideal person to take on the challenges that lie ahead at a time of accelerating transformation in traditional media, and to continue leveraging our content and developing key international partnerships.”
