Looking to create growth opportunities that it says build continued scale and differentiation in the regions, content giant Discovery has appointed Anil Jhingan as executive vice president of corporate development, EMEA & APAC.

Previously group director of M&A and international development for Sky, where he played key roles in transactions including Sky’s acquisition of Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia, as well as its recent public takeover, Jhingan will lead Discovery’s group corporate development function for EMEA and APAC regions, reporting to Bruce Campbell, chief development, distribution and legal officer, as a key member of its global leadership team.

“I am delighted that Anil is joining Discovery to help continue our growth story by identifying and executing strategic growth and expansion opportunities, transactions, partnerships and investments,” Campbell remarked. “Anil’s deep industry knowledge and substantial international experience will provide a real advantage in these key regions as we continue to identify investment and other opportunities to further enhance our growth.”

Jhingan added: “Discovery is a remarkable company with a truly global and diversified outlook, as well as a commitment to transforming the entertainment experience. I am delighted to be joining the Discovery team at this exciting time to contribute to and support the growth aspirations of its leadership team.”
