David Shen rejoins McCann Health China

After only six months away David Shen will rejoin McCann Worldgroup as president of McCann Health Greater China. He will be replacing James Hammond who filled his shoes when he left the agency to join one of China’s largest local media companies, China Health Media, early this year.

Based in Shanghai, Shen will work closely with Jesse Lin, CEO of McCann Worldgroup, Greater China and Amar Urhekar, president Japan and EVP McCann Health Asia Pacific, to lead three specialized business segments:  Healthcare, Humancare and Complete Media, while developing and strengthening McCann Health’s integrated offering across China.

In addition to his responsibilities for driving the China market strategy and reinforcing new business growth, Shen will also oversee clients for a number of domestic and international brands.

Jesse Lin, CEO of McCann Worldgroup, Greater China, said, “We’re thrilled to have David return to the McCann Health family. He is a recognized leader in healthcare who has deep roots in our industry and company. With his many years of successful experience and his passion for the agency, I’m confident that David will be able to quickly step in his new role and drive our continuing transformation.”
