Johnson & Johnson names new marketing lead for Vision Care

An American multinational corporation Johnson & Johnson has named Annie Yam new marketing lead for its Vision Care SEA department. 

Yam was previously at Procter & Gamble for almost 10 years. She assumed five positions in those years. Yam was brand director, SK-II human experience global design, for a little over two years. Before that position, she was brand manager, SK-II global travel retail, brand manager, SK-II Japan (inbound), assistant brand manager, SK-II Hong Kong, and assistant brand manager, SK-II Taiwan. 

Yam also interned at Weber Shandwick in the public relations department and interned at Cathay Pacific Airways as a summer intern. 

In May 2018, Johnson & Johnson officially opened its new Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore. This was in a bid to tackle healthcare challenges in the region and offer more patients, customers and consumers more accessible, affordable, locally relevant and impactful products and solutions.

Located in Singapore's Science Park, the headquarters houses three new key facilities - a Leadership Lab, a Design Lab and a Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute. These facilities look to spur innovative ways of working in the region and drive deeper collaboration with partners across the entire healthcare ecosystem, including government bodies, healthcare agencies and academic institutions. The new regional headquarters also brings more than 1,400 employees from the pharmaceutical, medical devices and consumer business together.

According to the company, the Johnson & Johnson Leadership Lab marks its first international Leadership Lab, and is aimed at developing healthcare leaders in areas of innovation, research, exchange and dialogue among others. The lab will also open its doors to the wider community of healthcare leaders in Singapore and the region, driving collaborative connections with universities, research groups, governments and healthcare organisations.
