Yahoo is currently seeking legal approval so it can set up a fully operational subsidiary in Philippines, which is a fast growing market for the portal.
The pair have been tasked to expand the business and establish Yahoo's three core objectives: make the brand the starting point for the most internet users, become the 'must buy' for the most advertisers and be a partner of choice for the most publishers.
They will report to Kan Mandel, the VP and MD of Yahoo Southeast Asia, who joined the company from Neo&Ogilvy/OgilvyOne earlier this year.
