Big Blue, a leading production house of high-end drama series (including The Crash, Arcadia), has named Leonie Rotermundt as its Business and Finance director. In her role, she will oversee the company’s business operations, including finance, budgets, and contracting.
With over 15 years of experience in the media and television industry, having worked for various content companies, Leonie brings a wealth of experience to Big Blue. For ten years, she served at NEP, a global technical production and distribution company, where she acted as a key account manager for various production companies and broadcasters before being appointed Managing Director of NEP Graphics.
Leaving NEP, Leonie co-founded LED wall company SIGHT, which was eventually acquired by the American/Chinese company LEYARD. She then became a co-owner of content agency Supersky and served as COO of Argus Productions, an international supplier of editorial broadcast personnel, recently acquired by Grinta Media.
“I am delighted to welcome Leonie as our new Business Director,” said Fleur Winters, CEO/Producer of Big Blue. “Her proven track record in business strategy, management, and operational efficiency is invaluable to Big Blue. Leonie has been involved with us on a project basis before, but it is wonderful to have her now permanently connected to Big Blue.”
Leonie herself looks forward to her role, stating: “Big Blue is a unique company that has quickly proven itself both nationally and internationally in the field of high-end drama series with productions like The Crash and Arcadia. I am greatly looking forward to contributing to Big Blue’s success in the coming years. Drama series are such an essential medium. The way Big Blue translates larger themes into series for a broad audience holds societal value. I am excited to help build the next phase of this company.”
