Retail and brand consultancy FITCH has announced changes to its leadership structure in the Asia Pacific region, with two new appointments and one promotion in the Asia Pacific region.

Based in Shanghai, Nikki Lin has been promoted to Managing Director of FITCH in China. Lin (pictured top left) joined FITCH as General Manager from Interbrand in early 2016, leading the China team and expanding FITCH’s reputation and client base.

Simon Bell (pictured left) has been appointed Managing Director for FITCH in Singapore. He has more than 20 years’ experience working in Singapore, India, and Australia in strategy, management and regional roles. This is his second stint with FITCH, having previously been Strategy Director in India from 2009 to 2011.

The Hong Kong studio has appointed Janice Siu (pictured top right) as Business Director. More recently an independent consultant, Siu was previously Managing Director at brand and communications agency, Brash. She will report into Hong Kong Managing Director Cally Williams.

David Blair, Global CEO says, “FITCH has had a strong presence in Asia for a long time. With the acquisition of the Hong Kong studio last year, we are now one of the biggest brand and design consultancies in Asia.

With the promotion of Nikki in China and the appointments of Simon and Janice in Singapore and Hong Kong respectively -all from strong consulting backgrounds – we are adding to the depth of the evolving FITCH offer.”

Appointments are effective immediately.
