Commenting on the new organisational structure, William Wade, President and Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat, said, "2015 is expected to be a challenging year for the satellite sector. I have confidence that our rebranding earlier this year has re-energised our brand presence and as equally important our entire team. With this new structure, we will better utilise our resources and more clearly focus our efforts in the market. By moving ourselves closer to our customers and partners, we are able to better understand and serve their needs."
