Andrew Demaria

Demaria was most recently the Executive Producer for CNN Digital Asia.  Before that, he was the Editor in Chief for CNN Travel where he launched and led a vertical that showcased creative work produced in five languages resulting in gangbuster growth. Demaria has spent time as a producer on the TV side, was part of the launch teams for CNN.com Asia and later CNN.com International and has had stints at the BBC and ABC (in Australia).

Demaria hails from Melbourne and as a result embodies the two big Melbournian passions — decent coffee and Australian rules football. 

Demaria’s scope and teams span the world. To that end, he will be spotted very often in London, Atlanta/NYC, Dubai and other corners, including Hong Kong, where he will be based for the next several months as he prepares to relocate to London.

Demaria officially starts at the beginning of April.
