Fair enough, you would think that she should have some idea how to market in China.
On the other hand - if I look at the WPP annual results during her stewardship (
2017:
https://www.wpp.com/-/media/project/...ual_report.pdf
2014:
https://sites.wpp.com/annualreports/...ull_report.pdf)
- the Chinese results do look somewhat diminishing, don't they?
Of course, she worked only part time as WPP CEO (Mondays to Wednesdays), this might have made a difference as well?
It appears that China revenue during her tenancy dropped from 1.5bn in 2014 to 1.4bn in 2017, and this was the time when the Chinese economy was growing two digits per year and GPP world wide was growing with something like 5% per year.
Have a look through the WPP annual reports - they say so much than the A2M corporate statements :):
Maybe it was not just her interest in her investment company that she left her job with WPP in May 2017?
Who knows. I do note however that she isn't putting any emphasis on her WPP episode in her LinkedIn profile, hard to find.
Maybe you are reading more into it than she does :):
