Sébastien Pavard, previously executive producer at Ango Productions, will now devote himself exclusively to DEMD Productions as managing director.
His appointment is effective as of 18 November.
Takis Candilis, Chairman of Lagardère Entertainment, commented as follows: “I have decided to hand over the reins of DEMD Productions to Sébastien Pavard, a dynamic, creative young entrepreneur. The talent he demonstrated as artistic adviser, programme consultant and producer at TF1 and M6 has served him well on a number of successful projects. He recently distinguished himself, alongside Alban Etienne, assisting Ango Productions with the production of such key hits as Nos Chers Voisins and Pep’s (TF1). I trust him implicitly to develop the company I have entrusted to his direction today.”
