People on the move: cosmetics jobs
Finished goods player Beiersdorf saw its executive board member for Asia, James Wei, resign, with Thomas Quaas taking on the role in the New Year.
Quaas will be focusing particularly on China, developing and strengthening the two Chinese companies Nivea Shanghai and Beiersdorf Hair Care.
