AS Watson Group (ASW) announces the appointment of Kulvinder Birring as Chief Executive Officer of Watsons China, effective from 1 January 2018.
Kulvinder joined ASW in 2005 as Asia Regional Finance Head before assuming business leadership roles since 2007 in Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia prior to his appointment as Acting CEO of Watsons China in March this year.
Since he took charge of the overall management responsibilities of Watsons China this March, he has led the team to reposition the brand, launch a new store concept, execute a massive major refit programme in addition to the aggressive new store expansion plan, and as a result improve the overall business performance.
As the new CEO of the business, Kulvinder will continue to further drive the digital business transformation, ensuring Watsons China remains the customers’ preferred choice in this highly competitive market with a network of over 3,000 retail stores in over 430 cities.
