This week there were more job changes than we have time or room to cover here at Mingtiandi, but we picked out a few key people to watch while we all enjoy the typhoon. During this second week of July a former shed investor heads to Ivanhoe Cambridge, and a Swedish phone maker finds a new shepherd for its flock of facilities. Plus, a bumper crop of promotions and new roles for the ever-shifting brokerage community, and you can read on to find out which of your friends has a new job this month.
