Xilam Animation announces a new organisation of its production division, effective as of 1 January 2022, in order to prepare for market growth in coming years, both in terms of volume and in value, and in particular on platforms. Dorothée Lanchier, currently Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed Deputy Managing Director responsible for Development and Production for the Xilam Group. In this role, she will develop and manage the implementation of the group's entire creative and production strategy. She will report to Marc du Pontavice, Chief Executive Officer.

Jean Cayrol, one of the most prolific creator/director at Xilam Studio (Chip'n Dale, Flapacha, Oggy Oggy, Paprika) is appointed Creative Director of the group, and will report directly to Marc du Pontavice. He will be responsible for managing all artistic matters (development and production) for the kids' series produced by Xilam. Marc du Pontavice retains direct responsibility for special formats (notably those unrelated to kids) and feature films. Cécile Hergaux-Hessame, currently Head of the Cube Creative studio, a subsidiary of Xilam, has been appointed Executive Vice President overseeing all Xilam Group's studios, in charge of supervising and coordinating all the group's production resources.

She will report to Dorothée Lanchier.

With this new organisation which follows the recent strengthening of the finance department, Xilam now has a structure that is both highly qualified and very experienced, enabling it to effectively manage its business growth and meet market demand.
