Wong has been promoted to assistant vice-president for marketing and strategic development for employee benefits. She is responsible for developing and implementing brand, marketing and communications strategies, as well as formulating strategic direction and managing various business initiatives for ManulifeÆs employee benefits business in Hong Kong.
