Previously we had parallel publishing and events teams - with all the duplicated costs that come with it. As a result, sadly, some lovely colleagues will be leaving the business," said Smith.Its editors will be driving its portfolio of events in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.“By bringing together the delivery of our events and publishing businesses within the same team, we provide our public sector audience with a more content-driven experience,” said Smith in the release.Earlier, an internal email from Smith to Alphabet Media staff stated that Smith “sacked Mohit and Ellen”. Mohit Sagar was managing director for conferences and Ellen Quek was the company’s general manager. Smith, in a blog last year wrote that the company's "events were not good enough" in reference to their departures.
