La Chouette Taps HARI Alum for International Sales

The French animation studio La Chouette Compagnie has hired Adeline Tormo, formerly head of sales at HARI Group, to oversee international financing and exploitation strategies for the company’s content.

As head of sales, Tormo will be working to strengthen La Chouette Compagnie’s footprint with channels and platforms worldwide and develop strategic relationships with international partners for co-productions.

Mariam Hachmi, general manager of La Chouette Compagnie, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Adeline to the team. Over the years, Adeline has built a solid profile in the financing and distribution of original creations on the international market. She also has a passion for programs and stories, not to mention the ‘chouette spirit’ that is fundamental to a perfect match with the entire technical, artistic and production team. Her invaluable expertise will allow the Chouette Compagnie to develop internationally, and thus, to continue to explore new registers, new techniques and new production models.”

Tormo adds: “La Chouette Compagnie has built an impressive, diversified and appealing catalog of projects dedicated to children. I’m happy to join Mariam, Sylvain, Guillaume and their teams in this period of growth, as the company is preparing to launch major new series, including Dragon Strikers for Disney+. I look forward to contributing to the company’s development.”
