A catalyst for growth and innovation, Chan brings decades of cross-market expertise to power Stagwell’s next phase of growth in APAC

SINGAPORE, May 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing, today announced the appointment of Connie Chan as Chief Growth Officer, Asia Pacific, effective July 2025. Based in Singapore, Chan will be responsible for leading Stagwell’s growth strategy and operations across APAC markets, with a focus on accelerating transformation, scaling integrated capabilities, and deepening relationships in local markets.

This appointment builds on Stagwell’s growth momentum across APAC on the heels of acquiring ADK GLOBAL earlier this year. Stagwell APAC now encompasses 2,500 employees across 34 APAC offices.

Chan will report to Ryan Linder, EVP, Global Chief Marketing Officer. “As the global marketing landscape continues to shift, Asia Pacific stands out as a region of extraordinary opportunity. Connie’s leadership will be instrumental as we build a network that not only responds to the complexity of today, but sets the pace for what’s next,” said Linder.

“Connie doesn’t just drive growth. She builds momentum that breaks the sound barrier,” said Randy Duax, Stagwell’s Managing Director, Asia Pacific. “We’ve spent the last three years building the kind of platform the holding companies said couldn’t be done—media, creative, strategy and PR moving as one, built for speed, wired for scale. Connie isn’t here to learn the playbook. She’s here to call the next play.”

Chan brings a track record of transformative leadership spanning decades in media, marketing, and strategic communications. Most recently, she served as CEO of OMD China, where she oversaw the agency’s operations in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, with a focus on driving growth and creativity, and inspiring teams with a strong focus on culture. Prior to that, Chan held leadership roles at WPP, including Executive Director of the Government & Public Sector Practice in Singapore, and Chief Client Officer for APAC at MEC (now Wavemaker), focusing on strategic client partnerships.

Upon her appointment, Chan reflected, “I’ve always believed in the power of strategic clarity and bold ideas. At Stagwell, we have the talent, the ambition, and the platform to build work that matters – and impact that endures.”

Das Marketing Shares Concerns Over Corporate Service Experience in Singapore

Published

By

Das Marketing International reports serious issues with a Singapore service provider, urging businesses to exercise due diligence and know their legal rights.

SINGAPORE, May 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Das Marketing International Group Pte. Ltd. would like to share important information about its experience with an external corporate secretarial provider in Singapore – Investbanq Corporate Services Pte. Ltd.

During our cooperation, we encountered a number of serious operational and management issues that significantly impacted our business, including:

Refusal to carry out key corporate transactions, which caused significant delays in our business, instead requested for unreasonable compliance inquiry including source of fund of the transactions.

Requesting excessive and confidential information and documentation, without clear justification, including reason for transactions, original agreements, source of capital and tax information.

Refusal to arrange a meeting with a compliance specialist despite verbal requests and demands for direct interaction on regulatory matters.

Demanding unreasonably high budget of USD 20k for legal counsel despite low risk situations.

Refusal to perform actions despite clear instructions given as a client.

Overall a horrible client experience.

Fortunately, the current Singapore legislation allowed us to promptly change the nominee director and corporate secretary, restoring control over the management of the company without the involvement of the previous provider.

We strongly recommend that companies operating in Singapore carefully select corporate service providers, enter into written contracts in a timely manner and be well aware of their rights under the Companies Act and other regulations.

Das Marketing International Group Pte. Ltd. remains committed to the principles of transparency, professionalism and strict compliance with Singapore laws.
