Mediacorp appoints Virginia Lim as Chief Content and Talent Officer as Doreen Neo retires
Singapore, 11 February 2026 – Mediacorp today announced the appointment of Ms Virginia Lim as Chief Content and Talent Officer, effective 1 April 2026. In this expanded role, Ms Lim will continue to lead Mediacorp’s Content Group, while assuming leadership of Talent Hub, previously led by Ms Doreen Neo, Chief Talent Officer.
Ms Neo will retire from Mediacorp on 31 March 2026, concluding a Mediacorp journey spanning more than two decades. She has held multiple leadership roles over the years, including Chief Content Officer and Managing Director, Studios, serving as a steady leader through periods of change and opportunities.
Under Ms Neo’s tutelage, Mediacorp’s Talent Hub consolidated its position as a platform to identify, develop and support talent across traditional, digital and social media. Today, Talent Hub comprises Bloomr.SG and The Celebrity Agency (TCA), representing more than 150 Bloomr.SG creators and 100 talents from TCA, with a combined following of over 50 million across social platforms.
Building upon this momentum as newly appointed Chief Content and Talent Officer, Ms Lim will further align Mediacorp’s content and talent strategies to strengthen a pipeline of talent and original IPs, deepen co-productions and cross-border collaborations, and unlock more opportunities for Singapore stories and talent to reach wider audiences in the region and beyond.
Ms Tham Loke Kheng, Chief Executive Officer, Mediacorp, said: “Ms Neo has served Mediacorp with deep commitment and heart. Her foresight and conviction have shaped our talent ecosystem, championed people development, and strengthened pathways for talent in tandem with the evolution of the media industry. We are grateful for her leadership and friendship, and wish her a fulfilling and well-deserved retirement.”
Added Ms Tham: “As Chief Content and Talent Officer, Ms Lim’s expanded role reflects the strategic importance of bringing content and talent closer together. As regional co-productions and creative partnerships accelerate, this integrated leadership will strengthen our ability to develop talent, incubate original IPs, and build collaborations that help Singapore stories travel further than ever before.”
Ms Neo said: “It has been a privilege to grow with Mediacorp and to work with colleagues and partners who care deeply about the craft and purpose of what we do as Singapore’s national media network. I am proud of what we have built together, especially in strengthening the support for talent and creators across platforms. I am thankful for the trust and support of my colleagues over the years, and I look forward to cheering Team Mediacorp on in the next chapter.”
On her new appointment, Ms Lim said: “Bringing content and talent closer together strengthens how we support creators and artistes, and how we shape stories from the start. This expanded role allows us to work more closely with partners, co-creators and platforms in Singapore and beyond, creating more room for collaboration and growth. As we move forward, we will continue to evolve while staying focused on the people and craft behind every story.”
