Jacqui von Hirschberg, currently executive director of TNS in Australia, becomes regional director for clients, while Mandy Tam joins the agency as regional director for business development. Both take up their new roles next year.

Von Hirschberg has been with TNS since 2002, while Tam was most recently Vision Critical’s business development director for Asia. Prior to that, she worked for Ernst & Young and Synovate across the region.

Chris Riquier, CEO, TNS Asia Pacific said: “We are absolutely committed to putting client needs at the heart of everything we do. We know that our clients want a genuine business partner who is focused on helping them to grow their business; 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.”
