Banijay’s Chief Operating Officer Peter Langenberg to Depart TV Giant (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAlex Ritman French TV giant Banijay is losing its second C-suite exec in just over a month. The company has confirmed to Variety that COO Peter Langenberg is departing, with his last day set to be March 31.
Langenberg will remain with Banijay on a consultancy basis in the ESG (environment, social and governance) space. Reasons for his departure were not disclosed. “Banijay has been my home for eight years and it has been a total pleasure working with the hugely talented leaders and producers across the footprint globally.
Together with Stéphane, Marco, and the broader executive team, I have watched the group grow exponentially and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of the business’ journey in becoming the largest European studio,” said Langenberg. “In that time, ESG has become increasingly important for both us as a business, and the content industry at-large, and I look forward to working with Edouard to drive tangible, positive change in this space.
While I step down from my role as COO, it’s not really goodbye, and I welcome the new challenge and opportunity to continue working with my brilliant colleagues, some of whom I now consider friends.” Langenberg was appointed COO in November 2016.
