Kaintel to assume global HP role

Singapore - ZenithOptimedia Singapore CEO, Harpreet Singh Kaintel will relocate to the US in September to take on the role of global director on the HP business - a replacement is currently being sought after.

"He has risen to all the challenges and development programs that we have given him in recent years. More importantly he has also shown himself to be a great leader of his staff and a great business partner to his clients. He thoroughly deserves this opportunity to demonstrate his skills by leading our relationship with HP on a global basis," ZenithOptimedia's Asia CEO, Phil Talbot, said.

Talbot added that the network will strengthen its Singapore operations through investments in Strategic Resources and Digital Hub which are based out of Singapore.

Kaintel took over leadership of ZenithOptimedia as GM in 2005 and then moved on to head Singapore operations as CEO in 2006.

"The opportunity to work on HP was too strong to resist and I am really looking forward to this challenge. Past 7 years in Singapore have been a great learning experience, for which I would like to thank all the wonderful clients and colleagues I got to work with. I also take this as recognition of the role that Asia, particularly Singapore, is playing in global space today," Kaintel said.
