Wanda Sports has reportedly hired David Yang, former Senior Vice President of Business Affairs at NBA China, as their CEO in China, according to Chinese media Lanxiong Sports.
According to the report, David Yang will replace Shen Jiaying in charge of Wanda Sports China. Following the appointment of Philippe Blatter as global CEO at Wanda Sports and Andrew Messick’s remaining at IRONMAN, the move sees another executive from outside Wanda Group’s commercial empire enter the management of Wanda’s sports arm.
