Luke Kang has been appointed president of the Walt Disney Company in Asia-Pacific but a separate head is likely to be announced for India in the new year.
The new positions follow the departure of Uday Shankar, president of Disney Asia-Pacific and chairman of Star.
Kang, who will report to Rebecca Campbell, will oversee the company’s business in Australia / New Zealand, Greater China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.
His role includes Disney’s media networks, direct-to-consumer offerings including Disney+, media distribution and motion picture businesses, as well as other operations across Asia-Pacific, excluding Disney theme parks.
