ITV Studios France has named Thierry Lachkar, founder of independent production company Deeply Superficial, as CEO.<\/p>\n

In his new role, which he will take up on December 13, Lachkar will focus on building and growing the company. He joins from Deeply Superficial, where he is currently managing director.<\/p>\n

Deeply Superficial’s development slate will now be developed and pitched by ITV Studios France, and ITV Studios France will become a co-production partner on any shows that are commissioned and take on physical production.<\/p>\n

Lachkar is also the former CEO and founder of Shine France, where he spearheaded shows such as The Voice<\/em>, The Voice Kids<\/em>, MasterChef<\/em>, Prodiges<\/em>, Baby Boom<\/em>, La Meilleure Boulangeri<\/em>e and The Tunnel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lackhar said: \u201cI\u2019m extremely excited with this opportunity to join ITV Studios and to lead the successful team at ITV Studios France. It’s going to be a real pleasure to work across such a dynamic portfolio of shows, in particular The Voice<\/em>, which plays a unique part in my own career story, as I helped launch it in France. I’m also delighted to be working on developing new shows to bring to the French market. There’s some great stuff in the pipeline, and it’s the start of an exhilarating new challenge.”<\/p>\n

Lisa Perrin, managing director of international productions, to whom Lackhar will report, added: \u201cThierry has immense experience, having launched and built the Shine France business from scratch. I believe he will provide the creative credibility and flair to bolster and grow ITV Studios France. We\u2019re delighted he\u2019ll be taking the helm and can\u2019t wait to see what the future holds for him and for the team at ITV Studios France.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
