STAR India Names Strategy, Corporate Development Chief

MUMBAI, February 23: Vijay Singh has been named to the newly
created position of president of strategy and corporate development at STAR
India, effective in April, reporting to acting CEO Paul Aiello.

local venture businesses. He will oversee various corporate functions that
include strategic planning, business development, human resources, legal,
government affairs, MIS, administration and corporate communications.

Prior to joining STAR, Singh served as the MD of developing
markets for The Tetley Group London. Between 1996 and 2002, he was MD of Sony
Music Entertainment in India, and before that, he served as CEO of Walt Disney
Consumer Products in India.
