Hallmark Media announced the naming of Anaïs Lempereur as Chief Financial Officer, effective in August. She will be based in Hallmark Media’s Studio City office, reporting to Jim Shay, executive VP and CFO for Hallmark. In the role, she will oversee the financial operations of Hallmark Media, which operates three cable networks — Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery and Hallmark Family — and Hallmark Movies Now, a subscription streaming service.
“Anaïs has demonstrated exceptional leadership in building and scaling finance organizations, driving strategic initiatives, and fostering a collaborative approach,” said Shay. “Her commitment to mission-driven business models and leveraging technology to challenge traditional industries aligns perfectly with our brand and objectives.”
Lempereur will leave her role as Senior VP of finance and CFO at Paramount’s AVoD platform Pluto TV, a role she took up in 2019. Before that, she was VP of finance at restaurant chain Sweetgreen. In her new job, she will be based in Hallmark Media’s Studio City office and oversee the company’s financial operations.
