TNS Strengthens Asia Pacific Team

TNS is moving Jacqui von Hirschberg from her current role as Executive Director of Strategy & Capability in Australia, into a pan-Asia Pacific role as Regional Director, Clients. Separately, Mandy Tam will join the firm in the New Year as Regional Director, Business Development.

von Hirschberg has been with the company in Australia since 2002, having previously worked for Research Surveys in Cape Town, South Africa from 1997 to 2001, prior to its acquisition by TNS in 2007.

In her new role, which commences in January, von Hirschberg will be responsible for leading regional client service efforts and driving client partnership programmes.

Tam most recently served as Business Development Director, Asia at Vision Critical, before which she worked in Account and Business Development at Ernst & Young, and she spent more than eleven years at Synovate in Hong Kong. When she joins, Tam will work closely with a portfolio of strategic accounts, and develop programmes to support their growth targets.

Chris Riquier, CEO, TNS Asia Pacific, comments: 'Jacqui and Mandy have both demonstrated true client-centricity in their approach and I am confident that in their new roles they will significantly increase our ability to drive our clients' long-term success.'
