I am excited about the opportunity ahead,” said Shu.

“Catherine’s deep knowledge of the Asian region combined with her networks will enhance our ability to help global technology companies tap the immense growth opportunities that Southeast Asia affords, while also supporting regional companies to expand into new markets,” said Caroline Shawyer, CEO and co-founder of The PR Group.
