HRG China Appoints New General Manager

Yates Fei has been promoted to the position of General Manager of Hogg Robinson Group China, effective 1 October 2013.

He succeeds Harald Weber-Liel, who will return to HRG Germany to take up a key position within the senior management team.

Fei has been with HRG for eight years in a variety of roles; most recently serving as Director of Sales and Account Management.

In his new role, he will report to Greg Treasure, Managing Director, HRG AsPac & President, HRG North America.

"Having gained tremendous knowledge and experience of the corporate travel marketplace in China as well as the wider AsPac region, Yates has demonstrated a solid track record of significant achievements including playing a key role in winning a number of lucrative accounts for HRG China. He has also successfully migrated over 60% of HRG China's clients onto a card platform as well as implementing our online strategy for a number of large accounts. Bringing a good balance of personality, drive and rounded expertise to HRG China, I believe Yates is the best person to further lead and grow our China operation," said Treasure.
