Frouman also named a senior advisor at Will Smith’s production outfit Westbrook.
Jan Frouman has been appointed CEO and managing director of Telepool, the German film and TV company jointly owned by US actor-producer Will Smith and Swiss director Marc Forster’s investment firm Elysian Fields.
He replaces André Druskeit, who has stepped down after 15 years at Telepool to “pursue other opportunities”.
Druskeit joined the company in January 2005 as CFO and deputy managing director, stepping up to become CEO and managing director in June 2018 when the producer, distributor and sales company was acquired by Smith’s production outfit Westbrook and Zurich-based Elysian Fields.
