Lang is a former CEO of Miramax, and he was also part of the team that launched US streaming service Hulu, serving as a founding board member. Other credits on his CV include roles at The Walt Disney Company, Fox, Discovery and Universal Music. He was most recently CEO of Pixel United, a mobile games business.
