Last week, Corus Entertainment Inc. announced changes to its management team that will align leadership around the company’s newly-organised business units. With these changes, the Corus Kids vertical will be led by Colin Bohm, Vice President, Television, Head of Corus Kids, who will be responsible for overseeing the company’s kids-targeted specialty television services as well as Nelvana Studio and Nelvana Enterprises. 

As part of the redesign, Nelvana Enterprises has created co-heads for distribution and licensing, who will jointly manage the global portfolio and will report to Bohm: 

Antoine Erligmann has been appointed Co-Head, Nelvana Enterprises and will manage the global distribution and licensing of the Nelvana portfolio of brands in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Andrew Kerr has been appointed Co-Head, Nelvana Enterprises and will manage the global distribution and licensing of the Nelvana portfolio of brands in the Americas and Australasia.

Jerry Diaz will continue in his role as Vice President, Worldwide Sales & Distribution, responsible for placing Nelvana’s new and library brands with global broadcasters and digital partners. Diaz will report to Erligmann and Kerr.

On the production side, working with the Nelvana Enterprises team, Irene Weibel will continue in her role as Vice President, Head of Nelvana Studio, with ongoing responsibility for developing and producing new content for Corus’ Kids television assets, global licensing and broadcast partners.
