London-based David Kosse is leaving his role as vice president of international film at Netflix as part of an EMEA restructure.
The former Film4 director is stepping away from his role as Netflix’s EMEA operations move to a regionalised structure, akin to its Asia-Pacific and Latin America operations.
Teresa Moneo, director, international original film, will now head the international film team with the job title of director of global film, reporting to Netflix head of global film Scott Stuber.
All Netflix EMEA content categories (including film and television) now fall under EMEA content lead Larry Tanz, based in the Amsterdam office.
Kosse joined Netflix in 2019 from STX International, where he was president. The veteran executive was previously director of Film4 from 2014 to 2016; prior to which he established Momentum Pictures and then Universal Pictures International, spending 10 years at the studio. He attended the Venice Film Festival earlier this month for Netflix, where the streamer had five titles including Noah Baumbach’s festival opener White Noise.
Kosse’s future plans are yet to be confirmed.
“I really enjoyed my time at Netflix,” said Kosse. “We made a wide range of fantastic films, I worked with some great people, both inside and outside the company, and learned a lot. I look forward to using this experience to make more films with Netflix and others.”
“David joined Netflix when our film offering outside the US was still nascent,” said Stuber. “He went on to build our European film team and attracted filmmakers and talent like Paolo Sorrentino, Ed Berger, Matthias Schweighöfer and J.A. Bayona to the company.
“Teresa has incredible relationships with the European film community and partnered closely with David to build our slate of international films,” he continued. “As we continue to expand outside the US, I look forward to working closely with her in attracting the best filmmakers from all over the world.”
