WE Appoints Anne Geronimi as APAC Brands Head

 

HONG KONG — February 20th 2018 — WE today announced the appointment of Anne Geronimi as Managing Director and Regional Head of Brands in Hong Kong. Geronimi joins a team of integrated communications professionals to drive WE’s consumer sector in the region. In her new role, Geronimi will build out WE’s consumer communications capabilities while at the same time adding leadership depth to the Hong Kong office.

“Our consumer sector is expanding rapidly in Greater China and across APAC. There is great potential for WE to provide a modern, integrated offering to companies in APAC,” said Alan VanderMolen, President International at WE. “Having strong leadership in Hong Kong is important, and Anne will be responsible for  driving further growth, developing the team in Hong Kong, and expanding WE’s consumer portfolio across Asia Pacific. She has an excellent record of building strong teams, and a staunch focus on developing strategies for global brands locally. I am delighted to welcome her to WE.”

With over 18 years of experience in Asia covering both brand and corporate communications, Anne is a specialist communicator in the lifestyle sector. Before joining WE, she was Vice President and General Manager at Ruder Finn in Hong Kong in charge of the agency’s lifestyle practice with a client portfolio including Richemont Group and its brands such as Cartier, Kering Group, L’Oreal Group, Moet Hennessy Diageo, Bang & Olufsen, and Macy’s. This wealth of experience with local and international brands will be incredibly beneficial to WE’s current roster of consumer clients in the region.

“I am thrilled to be joining WE at this time. The agency has a culture that is clearly focused on its people, which aligns with my own passion of building dynamic, integrated teams,” said Anne. “WE is at an exciting period of transformational growth, and I look forward to harnessing the agency’s current momentum to drive impact for our consumer and lifestyle clients.”
