MEDIA-I: Ion Global beefs up with global leadership setup

HONG KONG: Ion Global, formerly named Web Connection, has boosted its management team with the appointment of six executives from the consulting and internet professional services industries. The company has also appointed a global leadership council, a network of executives that will guide Ion Global's strategy . The new appointments follow last month's rebranding of the company, which shifted its focus from web design to present a broader, global image. Peter Hamilton, chief executive officer, said the company had spent the last six months deploying a "more networked organisational structure". Vanessa Kirby will lead the user experience team at Ion Global, which integrates design, content and information architecture. The company has also appointed a new managing director of Asean, Natesan Ramesh, who will develop business in South Asia. Ramesh joined Ion Global from USInteractive in the US and prior to that was director at Asia Strategy Practice of Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting). Jian Ma will be responsible for managing and growing the company's business across China, while Paul Li will lead the supply chain practice for Greater China. Edmond Wong, previously from Chinadotcom, will head the strategy competency in Hong Kong by helping clients plan and execute e-business strategies. The company has also hired Eddie Yung to help develop the communications and technology practice.
