Global Drinks Ltd (GDL) has made two key appointments – Terence Lee as Supply Chain Manager and Marinas Yau as Key Account Manager, both based in Hong Kong.
“Both Terence and Marinas bring valuable experience across supply chain, customer and brand management, trade marketing, as GDL underlines our reach and commitment in extending our regional travel retail expertise across our network of great customers and brand partners,” said GLD Founder and Managing Director Harry Kartasis.
Lee has previously worked for CDF Lagardère Company Limited as Senior Logistics Manager and DFS Group as a product support manager. His experience leading several cross-functional projects will be an asset across the GDL supply chain platform, Kartasis said.
Yau previously worked for Bacardi Martini reporting into the finance manager and more recently with Moët Hennessy as a key account manager looking primarily after DFS and at MoëtHennessy Diageo Hong Kong as a Customer Marketing Manager. A certified chartered accountant, she will play a major part in managing several key brand and customer relationships.
“I’m delighted to welcome both Terence and Marinas to the GDL team, Asia is our priority region with a targeted focus on Hainan island,” said Kartasis. “We are buoyed that GDL has two highly skilled and experienced people to lead us forward as the world starts to recover from COVID-19. Both Terence and Marinas’ knowledge of the GTR channel and the region will place us in good stead to lead recovery for our customers and great brand partners.”
GDL partners with some of the world’s leading spirits and wine companies in bringing a range of services to both local and travel retail channels. It runs its own supply chain platform in Hong Kong and Singapore, offering partners a gateway to the world at competitive rates.
