PRESS RELEASE
Global programme manager, Turner & Townsend, announces the appointment of Jaime Castellano Galán as joint North Asia Project Management Service Lead and Head of Project Management for Hong Kong, and Jennifer Zhu as the firm’s Director for Client Engagement in Hong Kong.
Both senior appointments come as Turner & Townsend reinforces its programme management offer in the region to meet rising demand from clients, with North Asia’s businesses navigating increasingly complex capital programmes, high delivery expectations and regulatory change.
Jaime will support the project management service offering across Turner & Townsend in the North Asia region (comprising the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Taiwan and Korea), while overseeing the project management business in Hong Kong. He has over 17 years’ experience leading complex programmes across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America, covering retail and hospitality, aviation, real estate and public sector infrastructure.
Jennifer will scale and optimise how Turner & Townsend services clients across key markets in Asia. As an important interface between the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, Jennifer will focus on supporting clients who want to leverage Hong Kong as a route to international markets and pursue important growth opportunities in the Guangdong province. She brings more than 15 years of experience, including in programme management and business generation at Turner & Townsend.
“North Asia is entering a period of significant activity, raising client expectations around major programme delivery. Jaime and Jennifer's appointments reflect our commitment to meeting demand for our services in the region.
“Both offer the technical rigour, leadership capabilities and strong track records to make an immediate impact for our clients, supporting our growth and expansion.”
