Zee Entertainment Enterprises has appointed Rajeev Kheror as president of Z Living, with Rafe Oller, who has served as CEO and general manager of the network since 2015, leaving to pursue a new venture.

Kheror, who was previously president of strategy and planning of international business at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, will operate out of the network’s Los Angeles headquarters. A search is currently underway for a new CEO and general manager of Z Living.

Looking ahead, the network aims to increase its focus on programming that reflects a healthy lifestyle. Tim Krubsack, the executive VP and head of programming, will continue to lead the network’s programming strategy.

Amit Goenka, the CEO of the international broadcast business of Zee Entertainment Enterprises, said, “Z Living made great strides in the last several years, and we thank Rafe Oller for his leadership in elevating the network’s original programming and marketing strategies. Now, as Z Living enters its next chapter, we have great faith in the vision of Rajeev Kheror to further the network’s commitment to programming dedicated to healthy living, and to broadening its reach in the U.S. and globally.”

Kheror added, “Across the world, we see significant and growing interest in healthy-lifestyle content, something that is culturally transcendent, which is especially relevant in this complex and ever-evolving marketplace. I look forward to helping bring a global perspective to Z Living as we refine our content strategy, and build our distribution in 2018 and beyond.”
