Los Angeles/ Hong Kong – While STAR’s Chief Operating Officer Laureen Ong is busy overseeing the company’s expansion efforts in the US, the full extent of an executive reshuffle at the company’s Hong Kong HQ remains unclear. STAR’s President of Platforms David Butorac resigned on Oct. 9, departing early 2008, and is being retained as a consultant. Programming’s Senior Vice President Ross Crowley has resigned but not yet left the company. Programming’s Karen Johnston has already exited, with an announcement expected soon that she is to join NBC-Universal’s Global Networks Asia. Other staff cuts are expected, although speculation on the departure of Bill Browning, Executive Vice President, Network Creative Services, is dismissed as “unfounded and inaccurate rumours” by a STAR spokesperson. The job security of some STAR executives had been in question since CEO Michelle Guthrie and COO Steve Askew left earlier this year.
