Toronto-based media and entertainment company OverActive Media has announced the promotion of Louis Zhang to Chief Financial Officer.
Joining OverActive as its EVP of Finance towards the end of 2025, Zhang has been working as Interim CFO after former executive Rikesh Shah announced his departure last November. The newly promoted CFO will continue to oversee all aspects of the company’s finance, accounting, treasury, and capital markets activities.
Starting as a financial analyst in 2008, Zhang has nearly two decades of finance-related work experience, with a strong background across accounting, auditing, and financial controlling.
Before joining OverActive Media, he worked for nearly seven years at the advertising and public relations company Dentsu as VP Corporate Controller and is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder.
