Frederic Villain will be leading TS Imagine’s APAC sales team across its offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo, and will be responsible for growing the business in the region.

We are thrilled to have Frederic on board, as someone who knows the APAC financial services industry inside out, he is a fantastic asset to the business and will be vital to accelerating our growth in the region.”
