Deo joins Fleishman ahead of India rollout

SINGAPORE - Fleishman-Hillard has made two key appointments in the region, naming Text100 veteran Tarun Deo as SVP and welcoming back Beth Boswell from the agency's San Francisco office.

Deo (pictured), who will relocate from Singapore to Hong Kong, leaves Text after almost a decade. At Fleishman, he will be charged with heading the agency’s regional AT&T relationship, and will also play a key role on the agency’s entry into India, planned for later this year.

“His entrepreneurial spirit, passion for client service, and deep industry knowledge will be invaluable to us and more importantly, to our clients,” said Fleishman regional president Lynne Anne Davis.

Boswell returns to the region as Fleishman’s SVP, partner and MD of reputation management for Asia-Pacific/China, based in Shanghai.

Boswell shifts from F-H San Francisco, after departing Asia in 2004.
