London, UK – 16 April 2026 – WildBrain CPLG, a trusted licensing partner for leading brands worldwide, has promoted four Commercial Directors under a new Regional Director model across Europe, designed to strategically reinforce its commitment to delivering value to partners through long-term brand growth across complementary markets.

Building on WildBrain CPLG’s established approach, combining deep local market expertise with global strategies and regional collaboration, the new Regional Directors will work closely with local commercial leads and teams, and senior leadership to enhance strategies across Europe, strengthen key retail and category partnerships, share best practices more effectively and drive sustainable, long-term growth for partners.

WildBrain CPLG ’s new European leadership model sees four experienced directors promoted into the new Regional Director roles:

• Stacy Scimia, Regional Director, UK & Nordics (formerly Commercial Director, UK)

• Angela Reuber-Gundolf, Regional Director, Germany, CEE & Benelux (formerly Commercial Director, Germany, Austria and Switzerland)

• Laurent Fourcine, Regional Director, Italy, France & Spain (formerly Commercial Director, Italy)

• Begüm Isikli, Regional Director, Turkey & Greece (formerly Commercial Director, Turkey)

Existing local Commercial Directors and teams remain unchanged, ensuring continuity and consistency of ongoing relationships. The Regional Director promotions take effect immediately, reporting to Pau Pascual, SVP Commercial, Europe, the U.K. and the Americas.

“Europe is a highly diverse and dynamic licensing landscape, and this new Regional Director model is another strategic step that allows us to harness the full strength of our local expertise while operating with greater scale and consistency. Each Regional Director brings deep market knowledge and a strong track record of developing brands, building robust licensee ecosystems and unlocking growth opportunities across multiple categories. By bringing markets together under these experienced leaders, we’ll deliver even greater impact for our partners across the region.”
