In addition, Josh Scherba (pictured right) has been promoted to president and will oversee DHX Media’s content business, including development, production and distribution, as well as its YouTube-based kids’ network, WildBrain.

Further, Anne Loi has been promoted to the newly created position of chief commercial officer and will oversee key external partnerships, content production and financing, as well as business analytics.

“I look forward to working with all three, along with the rest of the senior management team, as we embark on the next chapter in DHX Media’s story.”
