HONG KONG /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Asia announces
today that Margaret Ma has been promoted to Vice President of
UBM Asia starting from 1
July 2015 and become a UBM Asia board member.
Margaret joined UBM Asia in April 2009 as Managing Director of UBM China
(Shanghai). She started this subsidiary from scratch
and developed it into a company which will be
generating US$65 million in revenue this year. She was the
person who sourced and completed one of UBM Asia's most successful
acquisitions in the last 15 years, namely the Shanghai
International Children-Baby-Maternity Industry Expo (CBME
China).
To be
held from 22 - 24 July, CBME China 2015 will cover all the
exhibition halls in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre and
span over 100,000 sq. m of net exhibition space. CBME has become
such a strong brand that it has successfully launched geo-adapts
in Turkey, India and Singapore.
Other
acquisitions, such as Dentech China and Medtec China, and the
strong organic growth in existing events for aviation, non-woven
and technology sectors have contributed to the spectacular growth
of UBM China.
Recently Margaret took on the management of the
eMedia Asia business which includes the China International
Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) in Shenzhen, IIC China and the print and on-line titles of
EE Times Asia, EDN China and ESM China.
Jime Essink, President & CEO of UBM Asia, said:
"I am very pleased to invite Margaret to join the UBM Asia Board.
Margaret will bring among others valuable experience about
mainland China as well as deep insight in technology to the
Board."
Prior
to joining UBM, Margaret held senior management positions at TNT
and Global Sources with P&L responsibilities and track record
in business planning, strategic investment and product development.
In addition, Margaret has extensive experience in management
consulting and online development. Margret is a graduate of Oxford
Brooks Business School with MBA degree and certifications in
Project Management, Information System Management and Web
Development.
Margaret will continue to be based in Shanghai and there will be no change to her
immediate responsibilities and reporting line.
