Leong, meanwhile, confirmed that she would take up the position of VP, mobile phone marketing at Nokia China, overseeing the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, from the end of November. It is believed that she succeeds Maurice Tan, who left earlier this year for Goodyear China.
"Chris' go-getting attitude and well-known passion for brands and our business will be enormous assets in her new adventure," said Amour. Leong joined Grey in 2003 to head up the network's Southeast Asia business from Kuala Lumpur. She subsequently took over Grey Singapore on the office's launch in late 2004, before adding the role of regional marketing and development president to her portfolio.
