Christina Lee leaves Bloomberg Businessweek

As is normal procedure at Bloomberg, outgoing employees leave the day they tender their resignation, Lee told Campaign Asia-Pacific. So while she has made some recommendations for a replacement, so far none has been named.

According to a statement by a Bloomberg spokesperson a replacement for Lee has yet to be named and no timeline could be given for a replacement. 

Lee is currently jetting around Asia on meetings tied to her new role for a company she would only disclose as B2B in nature, backed by private investors and "not a rival to Bloomberg".

Wishing her all the best, the spokesperson for Bloomberg commented that they understood Lee's was heading a new organisation centred around clean energy and entrepreneurship.  

Lee joined Businessweek in 2001 and held the post of regional director, Northeast Asia until 2006, when she was promoted to Asia managing director. She continued to hold the position following Bloomberg's acquisition of Businessweek from McGraw-Hill in 2009 and its subsequent relaunch as Bloomberg Businessweek. 

Prior to Businesweek, Lee held senior sales positions at Yahoo!, Star Television (News Corporation) and Avenue Magazine New York. She is deputy chairperson of SOPA (The Society of Publishers in Asia) and the chairperson of its China Projects Group subcommittee.
