Sorenson Media Expands Operations to Korean Market
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Company opens office in Seoul and hires Product Development Director to oversee
operations in Asia
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA--(Marketwired - May 9, 2017) - Sorenson Media, the innovator
and market leader of next generation television, has opened a new office in
Seoul, Korea. The office will allow Sorenson Media to have greater access and
connectivity with notable TV manufacturers in the region as it aims to enhance
and scale its OEM partnerships.
"Strengthening our relationships with manufacturers and rolling out services in
Asia are critical strategic initiatives for the company. Opening a full-time
facility in Korea was the clear next step for expansion in the region," said
Marcus Liassides, President and CEO of Sorenson Media. "We've experienced
tremendous growth the past year, and the Seoul office will continue to fuel our
incredible momentum."
Sorenson Media has hired Chun Kang as Product Development Director to lead and
manage the office in Seoul. Kang's first charge will be to build a team of
software engineers to further the development of Sorenson Media's core products
and to integrate Sorenson technology into TV manufacturer platforms.
Kang previously worked for TiVo (Rovi) in Seoul, where he was Product Management
Director before he became the company's Director of Technology to develop data
solutions for 70 countries around the world. Prior to working for TiVo, Kang
worked for Samsung for 16 years, where he helped develop a foundation of
Samsung's Smart TV Cloud systems such as Smart Hub, OTN TV software upgrade,
developer's forum, and single-sign-on for 192+ countries around the world.
"I've worked in this industry for years, and it is clear to see that Sorenson
Media is transforming television for broadcasters, advertisers and audiences
alike," Kang said. "The ability to provide real-time analytics and addressable
advertising to create better programing and experiences for viewers has been on
the horizon for some time. Sorenson Media is moving towards that horizon faster
and smarter than anyone else."
In addition to the company's Asia expansion, Sorenson Media announced the
expansion of its European operation based out of Cardiff, Wales in 2016. To
date, the company has more than 200 employees worldwide with additional offices
in New York, Utah, and Colorado.
