Toronto-based Guru Studio has hired Jennifer Oppenheimer (pictured) as an international sales and licensing manager, and she’ll be responsible for a territory that includes APAC, Eastern Europe and AVOD globally.

This aligns with the scope of Oppenheimer’s most recent position as sales manager at WildBrain, where she focused on APAC, Australia and digital platforms in the US for three years. Prior to that, she worked as a coordinator of production and scripted development at Boat Rocker Media from 2015 to 2019.

Oppenheimer stepped into her new role at Guru two weeks ago, and reports to Corey Caplan, senior director of international sales.

The news of the hire coincides with the departure of development VP Rachel Marcus, who will continue to work as a consultant on various projects in Guru’s pipeline. 

The studio has also expanded the remit of longtime development exec Dave Padbury, who has been with the company since 2013. He will now oversee the growth of the company’s originals library, reporting directly to president and executive creative director Frank Falcone.
