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.
