Jia Salindong-Du is tasked with expanding Turner’s children’s and entertainment business in the Philippines, which includes developing local content opportunities, creating more consumer experiences and expanding the brands’ fanbase.

She will also support ad sales and operate in tandem with the consumer products and licensing team for Cartoon Network.

In addition, she will be responsible for the channel distribution of Turner brands locally, including CNN International, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Warner TV.
