Any advice for doing business in Singapore and/or the region?

Having lived in HK & Japan & dealing with clients across the region for many years, being able to network & connect with people is incredibly important.

What is it about Singapore that made you want to engage/do business here?

Singapore has a wonderful vibe with so many cultures & a can-do attitude which is great. It has become such an important business hub, it’s impossible to ignore!
