It is an honor to be selected as Interim CEO and I look forward to working with the team, as well as continuing to strengthen OSN’s position as a premier entertainment provider through the implementation of leading technology, innovation and programming.”
Desai succeeds Patrick Tillieux, who is leaving the company for personal reasons. The board wishes to acknowledge Tillieux’s achievements in renewing OSN's technology platform and positioning OSN to engage with its existing and future customers as they wish to be served.
