Lin accepts new role with Euro
Euro RSCG has named its Greater China CEO Mason Lin to the newly-created post of chairman, and has promoted executive vice-president for Greater China, Richard Tan, to Lin's former CEO role. <BR><BR> Lin's new post will also see him split his time between China and Canada, effective July. According to George Gallate, the agency's CEO for Asia-Pacific, India and the Middle East, Lin (pictured) will travel to China once a month to fulfill his new duties as chairman, working closely with Euro's management team, including global chief David Jones, in devising a long-term development strategy for China. <BR><BR> "This is most definitely not the first stage of Mason's departure. He will remain active in the business," noted Gallate. <BR><BR> Lin will also serve as North America leader, working with Euro's management team in New York, for clients seeking to enter the China market. <BR><BR> "Mason will be involved with the most important parts of our business: clients, senior staff and acquisitions," said Gallate. "Euro RSCG and Havas are back with a vengeance in China."
