Anaïs Lempereur, CFO of Paramount Global's Pluto TV group, is set to join Hallmark Media as Chief Financial Officer in August 2024. Lempereur brings extensive experience from Paramount Global, where she also held roles as Senior VP of Finance and CFO at Pluto TV, overseeing the popular ad-supported streaming service acquired by Viacom in 2019. Her career includes previous positions at Sweetgreen and Spotify, where she played key financial roles before transitioning to lead finance operations at Hallmark Media. At Hallmark Media, Lempereur will oversee financial operations across its portfolio, including Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, Hallmark Family, and Hallmark Movies Now.
Lempereur’s appointment underscores Hallmark's strategic focus on leveraging technology and mission-driven business models in the competitive media landscape. Paramount Global, amidst recent executive departures including CEO changes and strategic realignments, faces ongoing transformations. The company's Co-CEOs are navigating challenges such as job cuts, potential asset sales, and restructuring efforts following the collapse of merger talks with Skydance Media earlier in 2024.
