Caroline Casey - Senior Producer, Turner Broadcasting Where did you grow up in Australia? Melbournes outer bayside suburbs. Whats your current role? Senior Producer at Turner Broadcasting looking after all our VOD, video sharing and social networking services for entertainment brands in EMEA (Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Turner Classic Movies, AdultSwim and NutsTV) What brought you to London? I was ready for a change after spending 4 years in Hong Kong and looking for new career opportunities - and perhaps even some chillier weather. How long have you been there? 3 years How did you find settling into London as a professional!? It was quite a smooth transition as I had worked at CNN in Hong Kong previously so had no difficulty finding a job here. I also had kept in touch with many former colleagues from both Australia and Hong Kong who had relocated to London, which meant I had a ready-built network here.
