Senior Singapore Hire for Kantar Public

In Singapore, government and public sector research and advisory business Kantar Public has appointed Cheryl Chung to lead its policy advisory business in Singapore.

Former parent company Kantar completed the sale of Kantar Public to pan-European private equity firm Trilantic Europe just last week. The now independent company has offices in 21 countries and employs 900 specialist consultants and researchers.

Chung brings two decades of public policy experience and expertise to the role, most of it from work for the Singapore government where she served in policy, strategy and futurist roles in agencies including the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Centre for Strategic Futures (under the Prime Minister's Office), and the Ministry of Transport. She joins from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy where most recently she was Programme Director for Executive Education Singapore Futures, overseeing the Singapore and Open Enrolment markets and establishing the School's Futures training and consulting practice.

Kantar Public's Singapore MD Sandra Lim comments: 'It is not often we find someone who has undertaken senior positions within both the public and commercial realm. Hence, we are excited to have Cheryl onboard to head the Singapore market. Cheryl brings deep expertise and experience from her roles in public policy, as well as rich consulting experience during her time in the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, advising governments, non-profit and international business clients. Her expertise in foresight will provide an added dimension to the insights and analysis work that we already provide'.
