Canal+ executive Vera Peltekiann has been named VP and Commissioning Editor of Original Production France, Warnermedia International.

Based in Paris, Vera will commission Original Programming for HBO Max, the company’s direct-to-consumer video streaming platform. She’ll join the company in November.

Commenting on the appointment, Antony Root, EVP and Head of Original Production WarnerMedia EMEA said: “Vera is a world-class television executive whose passion for nurturing storytellers has seen her work on some of France’s most creative and ambitious programming.” He continued, “this appointment ensures we can start to develop exciting new content, so when we launch HBO Max in France, we can present a slate that will intrigue and delight audiences”.

Peltekian added, “I’m happy and proud to join such a talented team. WarnerMedia means a lot to everyone working in this industry in France and Europe. It is a symbol of ambition, creativity and respect for the audience and talent – always taking a chance to be the best. These qualities are exactly what we need in a competitive market.”

Since 2006, Peltekian has managed French drama series and co-produced original programming at the Canal+ group, working closely with some of France’s top creative talent.  She has worked on The Returned (Best Drama Series, International Emmys 2013), Spiral (Best Drama Series, International Emmys 2015), The Tunnel, Kaboul Kitchen (Golden FIPA award 2012), Savages (part of the Primetime program at Toronto International Film Festival 2019) and Paris Police 1900.
