HARI just hired Toby Jones as Head of Sales, and promoted Sophie ‘Kido’ Prigent as Director of Strategic Partnerships & Financing.
The hires come amid a strategic push at Hari to grow the international footprints of toons such as Grizzy and Mystery Lane. They follow a agreement struck last week with Retail Monster for a major licensing and merchandising program.
Kido, who has worked at Hari for three years, was previously Head of Distribution. Now, as part of the leadership team, she will oversee all revenue-generating activity, including TV and digital distribution, L&M, new format financing and content extensions.
