Stonebranch’s expansion into this region is part of our ambitious growth strategy and investment in supporting both local and global clients,” said Giuseppe Damiani, CEO of Stonebranch. “The capital city of Kuala Lumpur was strategically chosen due to its status as a major southeast Asian IT and business hub, as well as for its combination of a deep technology talent pool and well-established corporate landscape.” Damiani continued.
As part of Stonebranch’s Asia-Pacific expansion strategy, the company has also added Kenny Kong to the team as the region’s Business Development Director.
