James Murdoch ready for career reset beyond Fox

Los Angeles

FOR James Murdoch, chief executive officer of 21st Century Fox Inc, a surge in interest from potential acquirers may lay the groundwork for a career reset.

Mr Murdoch has spent years helping build Fox's international, entertainment and sports assets, from a stake in satellite provider Sky Plc to channels such as National Geographic and Star India - the very holdings now being eyed by Comcast Corp, Walt Disney Co and others.
