Blue Ant International has appointed Maria Ibarra to the role of VP of international sales and has made additional sales executive promotions.<\/p>\n

As VP of international sales, Ibarra will be responsible for overseeing presales and content licensing across the U.S. Hispanic, Latin America and Iberia regions. She brings two decades of experience in international TV distribution, programming, production and business development.<\/p>\n

Ibarra was most recently director of international program sales for Latin America and Canada at ViacomCBS Networks International, in which she was responsible for multiplatform deals. In her new role, she will report to Solange Atwood, executive VP.<\/p>\n

In addition to hiring Ibarra, Blue Ant International has promoted Nick Solowski to senior director of international sales and acquisitions and Fleur Wheatley to director of international sales and acquisitions. Solowski will oversee presales and licensing across Canada, Asia Pacific and ancillary rights. Fleur Wheatley will oversee Benelux, Scandinavia, the Middle East, Africa, Greece and Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaria brings an impressive track record in international distribution, strategic partnerships and strong relationships, which will be invaluable for growing our reach in those markets,\u201d said Attwood. \u201cI\u2019m also thrilled to announce promotions for both Nick Solowski and Fleur Wheatley as they continue to build robust relationships with key commissioners and buying executives in their respective regions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be joining such an accomplished, international team of peers,\u201d said Ibarra. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to combining my knowledge and experience with the momentum and success Blue Ant has gained in our rapidly evolving media landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
