Ex-Prime Video Italy Boss Joins Rainbow Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n Marco Azzani, the former Country Manager for \u00a0Prime Video Italy\u00a0, has joined \u00a0Rainbow Group\u00a0 as Executive VP of Digital Channels and Distribution. His transition follows his departure from Amazon in February after a decade-long tenure. Azzani’s appointment at the Italy-based animation house \u00a0Rainbow\u00a0 comes at a pivotal moment, especially after significant investment from \u00a0TEC Movie\u00a0, an independent entity formed by members of \u00a0The Equity Club\u00a0. This club operates on behalf of ultra-high net-worth individuals connected to \u00a0Mediobanca\u00a0. The capital infusion is aimed at expanding the company’s footprint internationally.\n <\/p>\n

\n Azzani, boasting a \u00a020-year industry\u00a0 background, oversaw \u00a0Prime Video\u00a0 from 2021 to 2025, after initially joining as Country Manager for \u00a0Audible\u00a0. He successfully led the local launch of the comedy show \u00a0LOL: Last One Laughing\u00a0 and secured \u00a0UEFA Champions League\u00a0 broadcasting rights. “The arrival of Marco Azzani represents a very important step for our group, which has been relentless in pursuing \u00a0expansion\u00a0 and \u00a0development\u00a0 in terms of quality and content offering,” stated \u00a0Iginio Straffi\u00a0, the founder and President of Rainbow, renowned for its \u00a0Winx Club\u00a0 franchise. “His vast experience in the \u00a0digital\u00a0 and \u00a0international media\u00a0 space will be invaluable for shaping new business lines and propelling Rainbow towards unprecedented success in the entertainment realm.”\n <\/p>\n
