Banijay Kids & Family, the global leader in children’s entertainment, behind hit shows such as Totally Spies! and Mr Bean: The Animated Series, today announces the appointment of Roubina Tchoboian as Head of Global Licensing.

Reporting into Banijay Kids & Family’s Chief Commercial Officer, Delphine Dumont, Tchoboian will be responsible for growing the international licensing portfolio for the division’s brands, which includes animated spy-fi franchise Totally Spies!, upcoming CGI series Shasha & Milo, and iconic preschool brand Topo Gigio.

Prior to that she held roles working across the sales teams at Zodiak Rights and BSkyB.

Delphine Dumont, Chief Commercial Officer, Banijay Kids & Family says: “With a strong track-record in delivering creative and successful global licensing programmes for one of the biggest properties in the world, Roubina is a fantastic addition to the company. As we continue to diversify our commercial activity for our broad IP portfolio, she will be instrumental in driving our growth in this area.”

With high demand from young audiences to engage with their favourite shows beyond the screen, there is huge potential for our portfolio, as we look to grow and strengthen our ranges of licensed products and experiences.”
