France's Canal+ has appointed Elvire Charbonnel as the new corporate communications boss of the MultiChoice Group.
As the MultiChoice Group's latest head of corporate communications, Elvire Charbonnel will report Emilie Pietrini, Canal+'s brand and communications director.
After Canal+'s buyout of MultiChoice, Maxime Saada, Canal+ CEO, in October said that Canal+ doesn't plan on filling positions with a majority of French executives, although that is what has been happening since October the management of new Canal+ Africa CEO David Mignot.
Elvire Charbonnel will remain responsible for corporate communications at StudioCanal. It's still unclear whether Elvire Charbonnel will be relocating to Johannesburg in South Africa or remain in Paris, France.
Elvire Charbonnel has a master's degree in communication and media from Sciences Po Paris and was a consultant for Havas,
Tilder and Clai (then Taddeo).
Elvire Charbonnel joined Canal+ in September 2022 as project manager and was then upped to head of corporate communications at StudioCanal.
