3 reasons why CapitaLand's CEO shift deserves two thumbs up

Mr Lim Ming Yan will take over as president and CEO starting 1 January.

According to Nomura, post market close on 9 October 2012, CAPL announced the appointment of Mr. Lim Ming Yan as the group’s incoming president and CEO, to take effect from 1 January 2013.

Here's more from Nomura:

We view the announcement of Ming Yan’s appointment as positive on account of the following factors:

Transition process to be completed earlier than expected: the transition date was initially set for 28 June 2013; this means that CAPL’s CEO transition comes about 6 months ahead of schedule.
Ming Yan’s appointment had been widely anticipated by the street and his appointment is likely to have a stabilising effect on the firm.
The incoming CEO appears well suited for the role, in our view. Ming Yan has a strong management track record and in-depth China knowledge, which we think will be a positive for CAPL. The announcement is thus no surprise and is likely to put investors at ease.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.
