SINGAPORE, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FleishmanHillard announces the appointment of a new General Manager for its Singapore office, Ms. Khoo Yin. Khoo took the helm as market leader in mid-August, following her leadership of the office's fast-growing technology practice.

Khoo joined FleishmanHillard in 2011, playing a central role in complex strategic communications initiatives on behalf of global clients and multinational corporations based in Singapore. As head of the office's technology practice since 2012, Khoo has been responsible for FleishmanHillard's growth and leadership in this area.

"She has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities which have driven unprecedented expansion of our award-winning technology practice. She will bring the same high-caliber care for clients, respect for team, and focus on innovation to every aspect of our Singapore business. We're excited about the future under Khoo Yin's leadership in such a pivotal market to our Southeast Asia business and the region as a whole."

"FleishmanHillard's Singapore office is well-positioned for our next chapter of growth, with a strong portfolio of clients and a deep talent pool," said Khoo Yin. "I'm excited by the opportunities in the Singapore marketplace, and look forward to reaching new heights with our team."

Prior to joining FleishmanHillard, Khoo held local and regional roles in Asia in both agency and in-house positions. She has driven communications and public relations strategies and campaigns ranging from thought leadership to product launches and influencer/stakeholder relations.
