Y&R revamps Beijing leadership

BEIJING - Y&R has bolstered its Beijing office by appointing Michael Tsang as general manager, and Luis da Rosa (pictured) as director of client service.

Tsang joins from a previous role as group business director at McCann Erikson Guangming in Beijing. Da Rosa, meanwhile, is best known for heading the Li Ning business at Leo Burnett Beijing, which shifted to Shanghai last month.

“Tsang and de Rosa are both seasoned professionals with a great track record in building business and brands for clients,” said Y&R Greater China chairman Tom Kao. “I am sure our Beijing operations and momentum will move full steam forward under their leadership and synergy.”

The appointments come after the departure of Beijing-based Y&R China CEO Wei Wei Chen last year. Y&R Beijing will take a lead role handling the agency’s new global LG business in China.
