He first joined the company in 2012 as a Production Manager, having previously worked at Endemol producing Big Brother and Fear Factor, among others.

I firmly believe that in this new professional challenge as Managing Director, Helder will continue to achieve excellent results here.”

Helder Marques says: “Embracing this new challenge is a very important milestone in my professional career, but above all, I’m excited to further demonstate a great commitment to the Shine Iberia Portugal team, which I have been part of for more than a decade. I know that, together, we will continue to innovate and strengthen the production of content for Portuguese television, and for global streaming platforms.”

Since 2012, Shine Iberia has created great television hits in Spain and Portugal, producing home-grown content, as well as local adaptations from Banijay’s diverse catalogue and those from third-party companies. Multi-award-winning entertainment and factual formats like MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, Celebrity MasterChef and Anything Goes, alongside hits like Sewing Bee and The Voice Portugal, engage television audiences and critics and have proven social media success.
