Thomas, who joined David in early 2006, will take up his new role on April 1. “We are changing the focus of our Hong Kong agency,” explained DDB regional chief John Zeigler. “Our client mix has shifted in favour of China. Richard is someone who is young and aggressive and able to build the momentum of our business.”
