Mediacorp in search of CEO

May 2, 2017 by TVA Editor

Singapore – Mediacorp announced that its CEO Shaun Seow will be leaving Mediacorp to join its parent company, Temasek. The board of Mediacorp will commence a search for Shaun’s successor. Shaun will continue with his duties as CEO and assist in the transition till 30 September 2017.

Shaun Seow was appointed to his current role in July 2011 after holding various leadership roles across the company’s TV, radio, print and digital businesses. He was part of the core team that started Channel NewsAsia in 1999. As CEO, Shaun has reshaped Mediacorp in the face of audiences and advertising dollars shifting to digital platforms. He steered the launch and growth of Toggle and Mediacorp’s digital-first news, focusing on user experience and leveraging social media to drive engagement.

Under his leadership, the company’s Digital Group was started to accelerate audience growth and monetisation. A consumer insights and analytics unit was also established to drive data-based decisions in product development and revenue generation. Beyond Singapore, Mediacorp has invested in a digital publisher in Indonesia, where digital adoption is taking off exponentially.

Shaun will be joining Temasek’s Telecom, Media & Technology investment team, which includes Mediacorp in its portfolio. Thanking Shaun, Chairman Ernest Wong said, “Shaun is a bundle of energy and is completely dedicated to his work. He has contributed much and provided yeoman service and commendable leadership during his many years with Mediacorp. During his term as CEO, he spearheaded our intense drive into digital media. He will be well remembered for the successful take-off of Toggle and for his other digital innovations and initiatives. I have no doubt we will continue to draw on his deep domain knowledge in the Media & Entertainment business hereafter. I wish him well in his new undertaking at Temasek.”
