JWT fills regional Ford role

Regional - In a bid to bolster JWT's Ford Asia Pacific and Africa business, JWT Manila general manager Raul Villegas has been promoted to the role of regional director for Ford in Asia Pacific and Africa.

Villegas takes on this expanded regional role with the ongoing support of Guy Winston, Joshua Teong, Yaowapasri Siksakasopon and Nares Swasdikulavath - who will also step up to a larger role on both the Ford APA business and the exciting Ford Export & Growth business for the Asia Pacific region.

"Ford is a strong brand in Asia Pacific and Africa and I look forward to helping them build their business in the region," Villegas said.

Villegas has a long history with the automotive business, dating back to the late 1990's when he was the director in charge of the Ford Philippines account. He then moved to the client side as marketing manager for BMW Philippines.
