\"I am incredibly excited about the new task of further developing UFA Show & Factual with its strong brands and experienced teams,\" says Schmit. The reality sector in particular is to be further expanded and reorganised under her leadership.<\/p>

Rustmeier adds: \"Our aim is to build up the New Business division sustainably and at the same time continuously strengthen the core business.\" While Schmit will be responsible for content in future, Rustmeier will be in charge of commercial management and innovation issues.<\/p>
