In his new role, the executive will head the group’s distribution business in addition to his ongoing sales and acquisition responsibilities for UK, North America, and Italy.

Beta Group appointed long-time executive Oliver Bachert to Chief Distribution Officer.

Bachert, who has most recently served as EVP International Sales & Acquisitions, will head the group’s distribution business in addition to his ongoing sales and acquisition responsibilities for UK, North America, and Italy.

In this newly-established position, he will oversee sales and acquisitions as well as growing relations to global clients.

Bachert, who has entered Beta Film over twenty years ago, has since contributed substantially to the rising success of the company. As a leading independent Film & Television group, Beta produces, finances and distributes high-end content for the global market and focuses on strategic alignment in new business areas via acquisitions and joint ventures.
