Following the merger of Banijay and All3Media, Banijay Germany is restructuring its management. The merged company will operate under the name Banijay Germany from now on. As part of the reorganisation, Arno Schneppenheim is taking on additional responsibilities, whilst Fabian Tobias is leaving the company.
Marcus Wolter remains at the helm of Banijay Germany as CEO. Arno Schneppenheim joins the board and will take on the role of Chief Creative Officer (CCO). In addition, he will become Managing Director of EndemolShine Germany with effect from 1 September. Together with Ute März, he will lead the production company, which produces formats such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, The Lion’s Den and The 50 produced.
There are also changes afoot at Banijay Productions: Katrin Stefanović will take over as sole managing director. She has served as Creative Director since the company was founded and was appointed co-managing director in 2025.
The existing German All3Media companies will operate under the brand Filmpool United brought together. Vittorio Valente will take the helm as CEO. Filmpool United comprises the labels Filmpool Entertainment, Filmpool Fiction, south&browse and Magic Connection. The managing directors of the individual labels will continue to report to Valente, who in turn reports directly to Marcus Wolter, CEO of Banijay Germany.
As part of the reorganisation, Fabian Tobias is stepping down from the management board of EndemolShine Germany and leaving the group after twelve years.
With its new management structure, Banijay Germany is continuing the integration following the merger with All3Media, which was finalised in July. According to the company, the group has the world’s largest catalogue of formats and produces more than 4,500 hours of entertainment for television and streaming each year. The aim of the reorganisation is to strengthen the creative capabilities of the individual production labels and to drive further growth within the group.
