I’m excited to build Verve’s presence in Singapore and grow it into a leading hub for Asia Pacific through strong partnerships and distinctive experiential work that delivers real impact for clients. I believe the most powerful experiences are those that bring people together in meaningful ways, and that belief will guide both the work we deliver for clients and the culture we build at Verve Singapore”.

Michael Pring, Country Head - Singapore and Global Client & Development Director, said: “This is a really key hire for us as we bring Verve to APAC. We’re focused on building a company that’s dynamic, creative and entrepreneurial. One that encourages ambition but also gives people room to do their best work. Stan is a perfect fit for us.
