After recently expanding its Asia Pacific presence with the launch of business operations in Singapore, Appnovation continues its APAC growth with new strategic hires to deliver people-inspired digital business solutions in the region. Appnovation, a global consultancy, is headquartered in Vancouver and has 16 offices globally.
“Appnovation’s growth over the past year, including these strategic hires, deepens our capabilities as we continue to focus on innovative human-centric digital services,” says Yvette Yanne, General Manager, APAC. “Not only does this continue our global growth trajectory, but also strengthens our ability to serve our APAC clients with end-to-end solutions to create positive transformation and champion digital innovation.”

Appnovation has added several key strategic roles to its APAC team with top talents in their respective fields. Some of the additions to the Hong Kong-based Appnovation team include:

“Together with our new hires last year, including Ernest Kwong, Technology Director and Hema Thiagarajah, VP, Client Partner, Asia Pacific, the APAC leadership team will add value to our overall strategic service offerings to provide the best digital solutions for our clients across the region.” Yvette added.
As organizations look to the next normal, close to 70%1 of small and medium businesses in Asia Pacific are accelerating the digitalization of their businesses as a result of COVID-19, potentially adding up to US$3.1 Trillion to Asia Pacific’s GDP by 2024, accelerating economic recovery.
