- -

The European Chamber in China has announced the appointment of Adam Dunnett to the position of secretary general.

Dunnett officially takes full responsibility from February 8, 2013 and succeeds Dirk Moens who decided to retire from the position after serving four years.

A dual citizen of the United Kingdom and Canada, Dunnett has extensive China experience in trade policy and government relations, as well as a strong management background and an intimate knowledge of the European Chamber itself.

He returns to the Chamber, where he previously served as the general manager of its Beijing Chapter between 2006 and 2011, following over a year as deputy managing director of APCO Worldwide’s Beijing office.

Earlier in his career, he worked as a project officer in the China Division of Canada’s Department of International Trade and Foreign Affairs from 1998-1999 and then later in the commercial section of the Canadian Embassy in Beijing from 2000-2004.   

Commenting on the hire, European Chamber president, Davide Cucino, said: “Adam is part of the European Chamber family and his familiarity with the Chamber will allow for a smooth transition and continuity in our services to members. In his first stint here as the General Manager of the Beijing Chapter, he was responsible for overseeing our lobbying, cooperation, membership, media and visibility activities, and is a major reason why the Chamber is in the strong position it is in today. We are delighted to be able to bring Adam in and are certain that the European Chamber will continue to grow and develop under his leadership.”

Dunnett, said: “I am thrilled to be back at the European Chamber and to further carry out its critical work. The Chamber remains as committed as ever to identifying, prioritising, communicating, and offering practical recommendations on key business issues in China. I look forward to continuing to serve our members by working with them, government partners, and other key stakeholders to improve the business climate in China.”
