ASIA-PACIFIC – CHINA, APRIL 19, 2013 – Isobar has announced the promotion of Chris Ryan to executive director for international clients at Isobar APAC to build the momentum of the agency’s international client development across the region.
Ryan will focus on strengthening Isobar’s regional client service hub in Singapore, following the acquisition of TUS Isobar early last year. As a key leader in Isobar’s APAC management team, he will relocate to Singapore and continue reporting to Jean Lin, CEO of Isobar APAC and global chief strategy officer.
David Jessop will succeed Ryan in leading Isobar Hong Kong as managing director. Having spent the past two years as business director, Jessop has played an instrumental role in driving client growth and stability for Isobar Hong Kong, expanding the full-service reputation of the agency, and adding an impressive portfolio of clients.
"Isobar Hong Kong has gone from strength to strength over the past few years, with no small part played by David. He has a great business mind, and is the ideal person to lead the agency in its next chapter of growth and success. I have no doubt that I am leaving our Hong Kong office in strong and capable hands," said Ryan.
“At Isobar we really believe in and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in our people, so I’m thrilled that Chris and David have chosen to embark on new journeys, within the Isobar network. At the same time, we are seeing an increasing alignment of regional business among current and potential international clients. With changes in the way our clients operate, it is vital for Isobar to provide the leadership and aggregation of talent to meet our clients’ needs,” said Lin.
