Porter Novelli restructures regional management

BEIJING - Porter Novelli has restructured its regional management team with the appointment of its Singapore MD Ed Dixon to MD of South Asia and China president John Orme to head up North Asia.

Porter Novelli CEO Gary Stockman (pictured) said that the move was designed to give the agency's regional clients a single point of contact.

"We have developed this dual regional model for Asia Pacific because client requirements and growth dynamics have proved the case for a more flexible, local focus,” said Stockman.

“Many of our regional clients want a single point of contact to manage their regional business, and Singapore and China are typically the bases favoured by our regional and multi-national clients.”

The pair have been briefed to develop training and support for PN's parters, manage the company's international clients and develop business opportunities with other high-growth regions such as Central and Eastern Europe and South American.
