Syron fills the job vacated by former VP of content and marketing Tham Loke Kheng, who moved to Taiwan as marketing head of Taiwan Broadband in January.

She will lead StarHub's pay-TV, mobile and online content offerings.

Prior to Astro, Syron held roles at TeleCommunications International in Hong Kong, where she was regional general manager, and VP for channel operations for Sony Pictures Entertainment, based in London.
