He will work closely with Mark Lee, general manager, and Melvin Yong, senior vice-president at Fleishman-Hillard Singapore. His role is effective immediately.

His strong understanding of the media, together with his in-depth knowledge of the corporate and financial sector will be a significant asset to our consulting expertise for clients," said Lee.
