TCB Taps Beyond’s Connell for Sales Role

LONDON: TCB Media Rights has hired a new head of sales, Karen Connell, who joins in February from Beyond Distribution.

For the last three years, Connell has been serving as VP of sales at Beyond Distribution. At TCB, she assumes the role of head of sales for Nordic, Benelux and Central and Eastern Europe. She will be reporting to Paul Heaney, the CEO.

Connell commented: "This is a career opportunity that comes along rarely, to join a growing team of an independent company at a critical and exciting point in its lifecycle. Paul’s reputation precedes him and I have absolute faith in the ability of TCB Media to grow the catalogue from strength to strength. It will be a real joy to contribute to and be a part of that process."

Heaney added: "'As TCB Media enters its second year of trading, we need to invest in a professional who is fully focused on converting our slate of content into sales and delivering on the promises we have made to producers. Karen is an aggressive negotiator and highly experienced in all aspects of distribution so for TCB Media to be able to attract someone of Karen's ability is a real coup."
