Attard said: “We are pleased to announce Rob’s and John’s new roles within our Asia Pacific team. They are both highly experienced and proven professionals, with the requisite skills to take business results and innovation to the next level, while helping our clients build resilience and navigate significant global and regional volatility. In 2022, we have continued to strengthen our business and a key part of this success is building a team that inspires and energises each other to create differentiated solutions for clients and deliver the exceptional level of service our clients demand.”
