“This excellent addition to our team makes a big statement about the commitment to Turner’s in-market presence,” said Robi Stanton, Turner’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Southeast Asia Pacific. “Capitalising on Julie’s 20 years of experience in the Philippine market, she will help us develop our existing business there and provide on-the-ground responsiveness – as well as target new, untapped opportunities for growth.”

This newly-created role is an example of the company’s plans to decentralise management in Southeast Asia Pacific providing greater local presence. Alfaro-Santiago will be leading the charge in the Philippines – forming new partnerships and creating revenues beyond Turner’s core business.

Alfaro-Santiago spent 13 years with ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ largest media and entertainment conglomerate, with her most recent role of Sales Head of Cable Channels and Print Media Group.  Prior to that, she worked in advertising for the Publicis Groupe and its subsidiary, VivaKi.
