Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan joining the company with immediate effect. He arrives from Shahid, a leading Arabic content streaming platform, and before that Asian regional streamer Iflix.
The group has not yet set a launch date for HBO Max in Southeast Asia, but currently operates HBO Go as an interim service in eight markets in the region. Sources close to the group explained that Monteiro’s role is not a like-for-like replacement of Malhotra. Malhotra had been HBO Max International’s MD of India, SEA and Korea , a role that is still vacant.
