“I am incredibly excited to lead The Boxoffice Company during a transformational period for the cinema industry, where our ambitions meet the opportunities presented by the evolving ways movies are distributed, marketed, and consumed by global audiences,” said Ruszkowski. “It is an honor to follow in the footsteps of an exceptional leader like Julien Marcel, whose contributions established this company as one of the most trusted partners in the cinema business.”
Reflecting on his departure, Julien Marcel commented:
“After many incredible years building The Boxoffice Company and shaping its growth, I am excited to embark on new entrepreneurial and philanthropic ventures. I leave with immense pride in what we have accomplished and deep gratitude for the talented team I’ve enjoyed leading. I am confident in the company’s future and will continue to cheer on its success as the CEO of its first channel partner, Cine Group.”
In addition to Ruszkowski’s appointment as CEO, The Boxoffice Company has streamlined its business lines under the following leadership divisions:
