Ad2One hires Ling to run Southeast Asia operation

SINGAPORE - Ad2One, the London-based online sales house, has hired Jason Ling Xiaowei from the UK to run its Southeast Asia operation, which launches next month in Singapore.

Ling, a Singaporean, joins as general manager and will report to Nadia Larouci, Ad2One's Sydney-based commercial director.

"We wanted to employ a local person who not only understands digital processes fully, but has strong business acumen. Jason fits the bill on all counts," said Larouci.

Ling has held digital management positions at companies including Jeyel Technologies and Arrow Engineering.

Ad2One enters Asia with clients such as Lonely Planet, which is in the process of signing a site representation contract until 2010, and cricinfo.com.
