Edelman Names New Singapore CEO As Julia Wei Steps Down


(MENAFN- PRovoke) Edelman has named Delicia Tan (pictured right) as its new CEO for the firm's operations in Singapore, in addition to her current responsibilities as CEO for Hong Kong and Taiwan. Her newly expanded remit comes as Julia Wei departs the firm to pursue a new venture at the end of the month.

Tan joined the firm in Singapore in 2006 and has built a strong track record of leading fully integrated teams across Asia Pacific, delivering diversified communications solutions and serving as regional and global client leader for some of Edelman's largest clients.

During her two and a half years as CEO of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, Tan has anchored the business post-pandemic and built a strong integrated communications team that delivers borderless, communications advisory solutions for clients across the region, according to the agency in a statement.

“Tan's new role is an acknowledgement of her experience and contribution to our firm. We have a strong team and a great set of clients in Singapore. With Delicia's leadership, I am confident that we will continue to do impressive work in that market. I would like to thank Wei for her contribution to the Edelman business in APAC," said Rakesh Thukral, Edelman's CEO for Asia Pacific.

Additionally, Vorasit (Gigg) Turongsomboon (pictured left) has been appointed as managing director for Edelman Thailand.

A seasoned expert in strategic public relations and communications, Turongsomboon brings more than 16 years of experience to his new role. Prior to joining Edelman, he was managing director of MSL, where he oversaw a portfolio of clients in tourism, automobiles and consumer products sectors – following a decade-long career at Procter & Gamble. Turongsomboon will be tasked with leading Edelman's Thailand office, which has grown following increasing demand from clients for the firm's full-service solutions.

“We are very pleased to have Turongsomboon onboard to lead our business in Thailand. Through these appointments, we are strengthening our ability to deliver the best communications advisory solutions for our clients across Asia Pacific. I am confident both Turongsomboon and Tan will make positive impact in their new positions,” added Thukral.
