SINGAPORE - Jasmmine Wong, Inchcape Singapore's first woman managing director, has been appointed chief executive of Inchcape Greater China and Singapore - just two years after being picked to run the motor group here.
In a company statement Monday, Inchcape said Ms Wong, 43, will continue to run the Singapore business as MD, and reports to Mr George Ashford, Inchcape's chief executive of Asia. Despite having no automotive experience, she made her mark within a relatively short time on board. Last year, Inchcape's Toyota agent Borneo Motors attained Toyota's Triple Crown award for industry-leading sales in passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and taxi sales - its first in nearly a decade.
Ms Wong holds dual master's degrees from Insead and Tsinghua University, with a Bachelor of Business Studies from Nanyang Technological University.
