During her time with the group, she also served as Head of Kantar TNS Thailand, and Executive Director Kantar TNS New Zealand.

Wayne Levings, CEO, Insights, APAC - who arrived in Singapore from London in November - comments: 'There are many similar opportunities and challenges across South-East Asia, and with Katie at the helm, we are providing more focus on these key markets, and better utilising expertise and best practice in a more scaled and ambitious way. Singapore is the key client hub for many South-East Asia markets and Katie will work closely with each to further accelerate growth. The addition of Emma to support our commercial excellence work will undoubtedly augment the ambition of clients to be their best in the region.'
