Bloomberg Media hires global head of distribution

Bloomberg Media has named Soo Kang as the global head of Bloomberg Media Distribution, reports Ray Schultz of Publishers Daily.

Schultz reports, “She will be tasked with accelerating Bloomberg’s Media Distribution business across content partnerships, licensing and TV/OTT distribution.

“Bloomberg’s regional leads —Josh Bassett (EMEA), Dan Molloy (APAC) and Margot Schupf (Americas) and their teams — will ‘report into Soo,’ writes Scott Havens, Chief Growth Officer-global head of partnerships for Bloomberg, in a staff memo.

“Previously, Soo served at Pearson PLC in a variety of senior executive roles, and was a member of the company’s global leadership team. She also led international operations out of New York for Hearst Publications and Time, Inc, and was ‘a path-breaker in opening up the Chinese market to western media brands,’ Havens continues.”
