Business Week has appointed Richard Huggins as regional sales
director for Southeast Asia.
He replaces Michael Dance who was recently promoted to vice-president of
sales for the publication's western US region.
Mr Huggins, who was previously international sales manager at Time in
London, will handle representative markets in Malaysia, Thailand and
Indonesia, with additional account responsibilities within the Singapore
market, noted Business Week Asia vice-president and managing director,
Alan Lammin.
According to Mr Lammin a spate of recent departures, including that of
regional marketing director for Asia, Justine Moss, had sparked a hunt
for new staffers.
Lamenting that shewould be sorely missed, Mr Lammin praised Ms Moss -
who steps into the role of business development director at XS Media -
for having "put Business Week on the map and made it the envy of the
international community" during her two-and-a-half year tenure at the
title.
Boosters to the Business Week team are also tipped to include a new
regional research manager - a role which Mr Lammin himself has been
spearheading since January.
