She has been a central driving force building Banijay International and I know that she has the perfect profile to help Nordisk Film TV realize its full potential which will benefit our group as a whole."
 
Spodsberg said, "In five years Banijay International has gone from a standing start to a well established distribution and acquisitions business and I'm very proud of what we've achieved. The fantastic team based in London, L.A. and Paris is ready to take this company to the next level and it's a good time for me to take on a new challenge with Nordisk Film TV, one of the region's most exciting creative production companies."
