Years In Cable: 16
Education: BBA, Marketing, University of Pennsylvania
One Word that Best Describes Me: Strategic
Industry veteran Ahn was elevated to his post last October, and now oversees all aspects of Scripps’ content distribution with both traditional linear partners and businesses seeking digital content. His challenge is to re-imagine the video experience for all platforms. Ahn reports to Gigliotti, who was promoted in February to CRO, overseeing advertising and content distribution teams. He is keenly focused on growing the company’s revenue above the record-setting levels of 2015. The biggest challenge moving forward is maintaining strong relationships in the traditional ecosystem of content distribution as new avenues for content delivery continue to surface.
