Banijay’s Global Head of Scripted Christian Wikander on Stepping Down From Role: ‘It’s a Time of Market Correction’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Christian Wikander, the well-respected executive who joined Banijay nine months ago as scripted boss, says his exit is due to a 'market correction.'
Speaking to Variety shortly after news broke of his upcoming exit, Wikander said he was “sad to be leaving” the company, but sees as as a “reflection of these times in the business.” “We see these types of changes happening in the business, because we’ve gone from a very high position across many territories and we’re going through a time of correction that affects buyers and everyone involved,” Wikander told Variety. “During his tenure, he has been integral to driving collaboration across the European studio’s 60+ scripted labels, while concentrating on building a team that is effective in strengthening the pipeline of new IP and returning, critically-acclaimed hits; exploring further format travel opportunities; and offering support in financing projects across the footprint.
