Akos Erdos has been appointed the new CEO of Paprika Latino, which is part of Nice Entertainment and the MTG group.
He replaces Peter Marschall, who founded the company in 2004 and is now leaving it as part of a planned succession process.
Prior to joining Paprika Latino as COO in 2013, Erdos headed Origo Film Studios in Hungary.
Commenting on the appointment, Morten Aass, CEO of Nice Entertainment, said: “I am very pleased to announce Akos as the new CEO of Paprika. He will continue to develop our relationships with our ever growing customer base, and as more and more of our own formats are broadcasted across the Central Europe region. I also want to thank Peter, that now decided to leave us, for his fantastic contribution to the success of both Paprika and Nice, and we wish him the very best of luck for the future”.
Peter Marschall added: “Paprika has been my total focus and dedication for more than 10 years. I have had the privilege to build and work with some of the most talented teams in the business, and I am really proud of what we have accomplished together. I have enjoyed every step of this entrepreneurial success story, and I am sure that Paprika and Nice will continue their positive development in the future.”
Paprika Latino was established in Romania and is now present in most of the CEE region.
