Global events and engagement agency Live Group has appointed Dwirt J. Ang (pictured) as its commercial director.
Ang joins from global market intelligence firm IDC, bringing experience in international account management spanning across key markets in North America, Hong Kong, China, Japan and Southeast Asia. He has led and managed APAC-wide master service agreements with clients from financial, tech and pharmaceutical sectors.
In his newly created role, Ang will be responsible for business growth and development, working alongside recently appointed client strategy director Qinxin Khoo in the company’s newly opened Singapore office.
The appointment of Ang is a reflection of Live Group’s investment in the Asia Pacific region. Stephen D. Pickett, chief strategy officer, Live Group, said: “The decision to open a new office in Singapore was driven by the tremendous growth the events industry is experiencing throughout the Asia Pacific region.
“This development places us in a strong position to harness regional knowledge and cultural understanding to produce authentic and results-oriented event experiences. With Qinxin and Dwirt joining us, Live Group is investing in the very best talent and skillsets to support our clients either based in, or delivering events across, Asia Pacific.”
