- Arianna Bocco, who joined from IFC earlier this year, now leads global acquisitions and distribution.
- The Match Factory team is being fully integrated into Mubi, with longtime TMF head Michael Weber appointed head of global production; TMF will keep handling sales in territories without Mubi distribution.
