EXCLUSIVE: Veteran film executive David Kosse is leaving his post as VP of International Film at Netflix amid a restructure of the company’s European content business. Kosse joined the streamer in 2019, overseeing all international film production and acquisitions with a focus on making and acquiring significant non-English language films with global appeal. He is expected to continue to produce for Netflix and others.
His decision to exit comes as the streamer has expanded, moving from a few offices outside the U.S. just four years ago to 29 in major cities throughout the world. It is now shifting to a regional structure in Europe, Middle East and Africa much as it already has in Asia Pacific and Latin America.
Going forward, Teresa Moneo will lead the International Film team and will report to Head of Global Film, Scott Stuber. The changes also result in all content categories (film and television) coming together under one EMEA Content Lead, Larry Tanz, who is based in Netflix’s European headquarters in Amsterdam.
Kosse has not yet fully clarified his future plans, but tells me he intends to start a new company with a view to producing European films with wide appeal. It is expected he will continue a relationship with Netflix as well as working with other platforms and studios.
A longtime business builder, London-based Kosse established Momentum Pictures in 2000 and later launched Universal Pictures International, spending 10 years at the studio. In 2015, he became Director of Film4 before joining STX to head up its international arm, and then three years ago moved into the Netflix job.
He is known for his filmmaker relationships, having recruited the likes of Paolo Sorrentino, Baltasar Kormakur, Romain Gavras, Edward
