Richard Tan, President and CEO of DDB Group North China said, “Timothy will play an instrumental role in strengthening our operations to enhance our service and business delivery model in line with our DNA of embracing creativity as the most powerful force in business. This creativity applies to how we work and play as a strong team. The magic is as much in the execution and delivery as it is in the thinking. And Timothy is here to make that magic happen.’

“A revenue and operations man at heart, I am analytics-driven and appreciate the finer business aspects. My role will be to pay attention to the often-neglected people nature of business, focusing on my strengths of people management and delivery optimisation. I look forward to working alongside individuals and teams to achieve their goals. ‘Love All – Serve All,’ added Yew.
