Cineflix Rights has appointed Stephanie Coon (pictured) to the newly created role of VP, sales, North America, as the distributor expands its operations in the region.

The news follows the hire of Greg Johnson as EVP Americas and Asia Pacific earlier this year.

Based in Los Angeles and reporting to Johnson, Coon will be responsible for selling Cineflix Rights’ slate of factual and scripted content to buyers across the U.S., English-speaking Canada and pan-regional SVOD platforms. Working with the distributor’s acquisitions and global sales teams, she will also be involved in identifying and delivering pre-sales.

Coon joins Cineflix Rights from her role as director of U.S. sales at ITV Studios Global Partnerships.

“Stephanie has a great track record of selling major scripted and factual brands to a wide range of buyers across multiple streaming, cable, and network platforms,” said Johnson in a statement. “As we target further growth across North America, I can’t think of a better person to work with to deliver our sales strategy.”
