With a record number of 23 WTA events in Asia-Pacific and the launch of the Championships in Singapore, all scheduled for 2014, the WTA continues to execute its strategy in Asia-Pacific that is providing growth opportunities throughout Southeast Asia and the region overall.

The Women’s Tennis Association announced the hiring of Steve Tseng as the newly created Head of Global Sponsorship Sales, and Rory Renwick as Senior Director of Business Development for EMEA.

“I am excited for the strategic investment we are making in our senior management team. These two positions are vital for the continued growth and development of the WTA as we look to capitalize on the momentum we are seeing in women’s tennis,” said Stacey Allaster, WTA Chairman and CEO.

Tseng joins the WTA following 20 years at IMG, most recently as Senior Vice President of IMG’s US Business Development team, where he oversaw IMG Consulting for the West Coast and managed the agency’s San Francisco office. Based out of the WTA’s corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, Tseng will report directly to Allaster, and is set to begin in his new role on August 1.

Additionally, the WTA announced that Rory Renwick will join the sponsorship sales group as Senior Director of Business Development for EMEA. Rory will be based out of the WTA’s London office beginning August 8. Renwick has an extensive sales background, most recently as Head of Sponsorship (Asia) for Phar Partnerships in Singapore, where he represented a number of brands and rights holders within travel, sports and entertainment.
