Tammy Nam, contributing to the boom of K-entertainment as the CEO of Viki
Viki is a global TV site offering myriads of entertainment contents including TV shows, movies and music videos from all corners of the world. Following its inception as a venture-capital firm in Silicon Valley in 2010, Viki has quickly emerged as one of the top multi-language video streaming platforms online. Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video, for instance, was translated into 20 languages, while the K-drama "Playful Kiss" was made available in 56 different languages.
The current CEO of Viki is Tammy Nam, who was promoted from the position of chief marketing officer (CMO) in January 2015. During the interview, she shared with us her life story, from her childhood to first setting foot in Silicon Valley and eventually becoming a top corporate executive. She also invited us along during her visit to a drama shoot, where she met with the director as well as the main cast including Yeo Jin-gu and Seol-hyun of AOA.
Tune in this week to meet Tammy Nam, who is bringing together the countless fans of Korean culture and entertainment through the online video streaming platform and contributing to the global boom of K-entertainment.
