“We are proud at Banijay to have over 50 percent of our managerial positions globally filled by women,” said Banijay CEO Marco Bassetti. “However, we recognize the landscape has not always supported this demographic of creators in breaking through.

The drive will benefit from the framework and skill of Imaginative Organizations, Banijay’s focal unscripted substance division co-drove by Townley and boss substance official, Tasks Lucas Green.
