Kalra will report to Eline Van Der Velden, executive producer and founder.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining the company, Kalra was director of international programming at A+E Networks, where he oversaw programming for the History, History2, Crime+Investigation and A&amp;E channels outside of the U.S. Prior to joining A+E, Kalra spent nearly ten years at The Walt Disney Company, departing his post as director of global content distribution strategy for Marvel Television in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Van Der Velden said: \u201cWe feel really great about the successes we\u2019ve had since launching the company, and we\u2019re ready for this next stage of growth. Raj comes to us having worked for both Studios and Networks across many genres of content. His breadth of experience will add a lot of value to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kalra said: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be joining Particle6, a company whose editorial vision, award-winning pedigree, eco-conscious certification and commitment to making complex stories accessible and entertaining more closely match my own values. Given the proliferation of platforms in the U.S., now is the best time to bring Particle6\u2019s finished programs and inspired development slate to market. I\u2019m thankful to Eline for this awesome opportunity and eager for the challenge ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Particle6 Productions has tapped Raj Kalra for the newly created role of VP of content and U.S. distribution strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":10355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2532,2533],"class_list":["post-10354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-particle6-productions","tag-raj-kalra"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Particle6 Productions Hires VP of Content &amp;
