Country Leads for Hewitt South East Asia
Hewitt South East Asia is restructuring its leadership to meet market demand. Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are to have dedicated Country Leads, with Kulshaan Singh, Christian Doeringer and Ian Till, respectively, taking on the roles through internal succession planning. Each has at least 10 years' experience in consulting and dealing with senior executives. They will report to Alan Parker, the newly appointed South East Asia Market Manager who has worked in HR consultancy for more than 30 years.
"Hewitt has been privileged to work in this market for 20 years. It's still growing and so are our clients' businesses," says Alan Parker. "Because of this growth, we needed to make sure our operational efficiency and momentum in content development were maintained. The new team understands the market and is well placed to help us take Hewitt South East Asia further in terms of both content development and HR support for our local and regional clients."
The three Country Leads will each have their own operational teams, covering content and other local market issues. Key positions covering Rewards, Talent and Leadership advice have also been reorganized.

Five Asian Firms Listed in Hewitt's Top Companies for Leaders 2007 Study
Hewitt Associates, in partnership with The RBL Group and FORTUNE magazine, has conducted the Top Companies for Leaders 2007 study - the most comprehensive research on leadership in the global marketplace. It examines how organizations choose and develop their senior talent.
Five Asian companies have made it to the list of 20 Global Top Companies for Leaders. The list was revealed in FORTUNE magazine on October 1. |
 |
The study was first held in 2001, and from the insights gathered so far, Hewitt has identified three fundamental principles that separate The Best companies from The Rest. Hewitt calls these The Three Leadership Truths. These are:
- Senior team involvement and support in selection and development of leaders;
- An intense focus on talent;
- Having the right programs in place and utilizing them effectively.
The 2007 study - conducted in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America - examined leadership culture and practices in greater depth than ever before. Highlights of this year's study include:
- How the Three Leadership Truths continue to differentiate The Best from The Rest
- The alignment between leadership practices and business strategy
- The importance of personal relationships and their impact on leadership development
- Positive reputation for leadership as a competitive advantage; and
- Trends of the top global companies, and trends around the world
The results for 2007, published in FORTUNE, provide insights from more than 500 companies around the world. Following publication, additional details and study highlights will be available online on Fortune and Hewitt's websites. For more information, please contact peoplesolutions@hewitt.com
