Lima is an experienced affiliate sales and marketing professional having worked at Discovery Communications, Fox Latin American Channels and SKY Brasil.

"As we prepare for our first launch in Latin America, getting our programming team and distribution strategy in place is key," said Márcio Fonseca, managing director of Latin America. "I’ve worked with Claudia and Edilson before at Fox Latin America, so there’s already a natural synergy to our workflow. They are valuable additions to the team."

Both Clauhs and Lima will report to Fonseca.

Clauhs is a graduate of the Universidade SãoJudas Tadeu where she received a degree in social communications with an emphasis in radio and television.
