NEW YORK: Youngsun Soh, a former Twitter Korea executive, has been named general manager of A+E Networks Korea.<\/p>\n

Soh will work out of Seoul under Saugato Banerjee, A+E Networks’ general manager for North Asia. She is charged with developing and delivering on the vision, strategy and business initiatives for A+E Networks in Korea, including expanding the brands and audience, increasing ad sales and developing content investment plans that support those initiatives. She\u00a0will also\u00a0establish a digital presence through investment in technology and original content.<\/p>\n

Previously, Soh served as the market director at Twitter Korea, where she oversaw all business development efforts and user growth in the country. Before that, she was the executive director of BBC Worldwide Channels Asia. Earlier in her career, she was the senior commercial officer of the UK Trade & Investment in Seoul, and a science and technology officer at the city’s British Embassy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to bring such a highly respected global executive as Youngsun Soh to our team in Korea,\u201d said Edward Sabin, the executive managing director of international at A+E Networks. \u201cHer vast experience with global brands in broadcast and digital, together with her proven acumen for establishing meaningful partnerships in the technology sector, are certain to further our vision for growth throughout the Korean marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is exciting to be joining the talented team at A+E Networks at this time of accelerated growth,\u201d added Soh. \u201cI look forward to building on their momentum in the Korean marketplace with A+E\u2019s genre-breaking series and new local content that represents the A+E Networks pedigree.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
