Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific (TBSAP) says it will realign its structure to reflect its considerable business outside of Hong Kong.
In order to pursue the network’s new goals in an increasingly dynamic and fragmented Asia-Pacific region, TBSAP is to rebalance its resources to better seize opportunities in the territories of North Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia/Pacific, each of which will come under a new management structure.
The firm has appointed its executives for the new posts.
Sunny Saha becomes SVP & MD Entertainment Networks, TBSAP, and takes on expanded responsibilities on strategic planning across the company, while continuing to oversee the functions in Hong Kong that support TBSAP’s new sub-regional operations.
Anshuman Misra will become SVP & MD of Networks and Content Distribution (NCD) Asia-Pacific, taking on full responsibility for Turner’s content sales business across the region.
The North Asia region will be managed by Yew Ming Lau who will assume the new role of SVP & MD, North Asia.
Siddharth Jain will assume management of South Asia as SVP & MD while Monica Tata, as VP & GM Networks, will now manage all of Turner’s India networks with the assistance of dedicated business heads reporting to her.
Ringo Chan will devote his major focus to this pursuit as SVP, CNN Broadcast Sales & Affiliate Relations, while maintaining his responsibilities for NCD in Greater China as well as the important liaison work he conducts for TBSAP with the PRC.
Jeremy Carr will assume important additional responsibility for growing TBSAP’s digital entertainment properties as VP Entertainment, Digital & Adsales.
Finally, Phil Nelson will assume full regional responsibility for Business Development as VP of Business Development, Asia Pacific. These new operating arrangements will take effect immediately.
