Canal+ Group CFO Amandine Ferré Reveals Ins and Outs of Pay TV Giant’s London Stock Exchange Debut: ‘It Opens Up Opportunities That We Didn’t Have Before’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Canal+ CFO Amandine Ferré discusses the ins and outs of the pay TV group's listing at the London Stock Exchange and its international strategy.
