Back then, both Singapore and global solutions were at the cusp of developing our diversified services offer and resources, and it made the most sense to build them together in order to accelerate the growth of both operations."Currently the agency's main challenge is to stay ahead of the game and sustain its growth, according to Li.  "Hence, reorganising the management team was a vital move for the agency to enable greater focus for the Singapore operation and across the region."
