In January 2024, leading French documentary producer and distributor ZED (Manuel Catteau) has hired Lucille Ract and Charlotte Fuga to join its international distribution team as new sales managers.

Lucille Ract has over 10 years of experience within the audiovisual distribution sector. After nearly 8 years at France TV Distribution as International Sales Manager, she joined ZED’s sales team on January 2.

A Franco-Italian, Charlotte Fuga has almost 8 years’ experience within the field. She made her mark in various audiovisual companies, including TF1 STUDIO, ARP SELECTION and more recently RTL Belgium, where she worked for almost 3 years as Content Acquisition Officer.

Their arrival corresponds with a strengthening of the sales team, headed by Charlotte Tachet – in addition to Zoé Turpin and Chloé Chevrier. The sales territories within the Distribution department will thus be reshaped as follows:

• Lucille Ract will ensure sales in North America (excluding French-speaking Canada), the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Spain and Portugal, as well as Englishspeaking Africa.

• Charlotte Fuga will be in charge of Italy, Italian-speaking Switzerland, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia and CSI, the Batlic States, Greece, Cyprus and Malta, and will manage inflights and maritime clients.

These arrivals underline ZED’s ongoing drive to strengthen its sales team, in keeping with the catalogue it distributes. The Distribution team – which now includes 9 people – is evidence of the company’s strong presence on French and international marketplace.
