SINGAPORE - The executive vice-president of corporate development at Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) is leaving after eight years of service to pursue personal interests.

The resignation of Ms Deborah Lee, 58, will take effect on Dec 16.

Ms Janice Wu, 46, will take over the role.

She will relinquish her current portfolio as senior vice-president of media strategy and analytics, with effect from the same date, SPH said.

Ms Wu was previously in the corporate development department for several years, before going on to set up the media strategy and analytics division.

Mr Anthony Tan, 42, will oversee media strategy and analytics, also from the same date. This is in addition to his current role as executive vice-president of SPH's Chinese Media Group.

Both will continue to report to SPH chief executive Alan Chan.
