Leading South Korean entertainment company CJ ENM has appointed Choi Ju-hui as chief executive of its streaming platform TVING, making her the first woman CEO in the local OTT industry.
Choi previously served as chief business officer at the luxury e-commerce platform Trenbe, where she oversaw strategy, sales, marketing and IT. She was also chief strategy officer at Trenbe and online fashion platform W Concept.
