Fremantle’s UFA Group Drafts In Netflix Germany’s Natalie Clausen In Management Re-Org
deadline.comGermany‘s UFA Group has brought in a senior Netflix exec, as part of a management re-org. Natalie Clausen has been named COO of the Fremantle-owned German production giant, and will join its management board on February 19.

Prior to Netflix, she worked on big-ticket German shows such as Babylon Berlin and UFA shows Charité and Deutschland 89. She’ll report to UFA CEO Sascha Schwingel, who took on his role in September.
