MediaCorp appoints Mr Shaun Seow as CEO

He will also be a Board Director effective immediately.

Mr Seow has been MediaCorp’s Deputy CEO since 2005, overseeing a range of business lines spanning television, radio, print, interactive and outdoor media. He started his media career more than 20 years ago after a stint in the administrative service.

He was a newspaper journalist at Singapore Press Holdings and Japan’s Nihon Kezai Shimbun, before switching to a broadcasting role at Television Corporation of Singapore. There, he worked as a news director and TV host, and was instrumental in launching Channel NewsAsia internationally.

An Eisenhower Fellow on US media studies, Mr Seow read Economics at Cambridge University in Britain on a President's Scholarship.

Mr Seow's appointment followed an intensive executive search to fill the MediaCorp CEO position
after Mr Lucas Chow resigned from that position in January 2011.
