Candle Media-owned Moonbug Entertainment has hired Beatriz Miller as senior director of distribution and originals for North America. 

Reporting to global head of distribution Nicolas Eglau, Miller started this week, but is working remotely from Miami until she’s able to relocate to LA in the beginning of 2025. Her remit is to support the company’s expansion in North American markets, with a focus on maximizing the regional distribution of brands including CoComelon, Blippi and Little Angel. 

Miller has 15 years of media industry experience. Most recently, she worked at Netflix for seven years as manager of production strategy and operations for global projects. And prior to that, she served as head of global digital media and rights distribution at NBCUniversal. 

It’s already been a busy fall for Moonbug, which recently released several new video games and launched CoComelon’s first live-action series Melon Patch Classroom on YouTube, as well as hiring ex-Paramount VP Stephanie Bailey as head of global toys.
