JWT tweaks Beijing management

China - Oliver Xu, JWT Beijing general manager, has been moved into the role of managing director.

"Since Oliver took the helm of JWT Beijing more than a year ago, it's fair to say that our position in Beijing has never been better," Tom Doctoroff, KWT CEO said.

A Beijing local, Xu has been working in advertising and marketing for 15 years. Prior to joining JWT, he worked at both Ogilvy and TBWA\ as well as working in-house at Visa and Nabisco.

He joined JWT in 2004 as a group account director and was promoted to director of client service before being elevated to general manager.
