FORMER POST MAN TAKES UP NEW ROLE
David Armstrong, the former Chief Executive Officer of The Bangkok Post, has been appointed Chairman of Post Media, publishers of The Phnom Penh Post.
The Phnom Penh Post’s publisher Ross Dunkley said the company had been searching for a chairman for some time. He said: “In the end choosing David Armstrong was simple. He’s one of only a handful in the world today who can claim to have successfully straddled the media both in the East and the West.
"He’s enthusiastic and young at heart, but at the same time it is his wisdom and sensibility which we value, and the shareholders are confident he is the right person at the right time. David has already put his stethoscope over our media assets in both Myanmar and Cambodia and understands where we are going."
Armstrong is a former Editor-in-Chief of The Australian and The South China Morning Post. He "retired from full time work" when he stepped down from his previous role at The Bangkok Post in December 2008.
