Ang, who joined OMD in June, has a solid understanding of the China media landscape and its complexities. Most recently she was responsible for transforming the Intel business through strategic leadership and innovation, prompting her fast-track promotion. She also worked at Publicis Modem as managing director for Asia, where she left in April.

"Our clients are looking forward to tapping into Arlene's digital prowess to boost their digital quotient, and there are many opportunities for us as a company in Beijing and with Arlene's management. We hope to grow our Beijing operation from strength to strength," said Siew Ping Lim, CEO OMD China.
