FGS Global has announced a series of senior appointments in Singapore, naming Harry Florry as Head of Singapore and Andrew Yeo as Global Policy Partner Asia, alongside four public affairs hires. This follows the appointment of Susan Ho as Asia Chair in January, as previously reported on Telum Media.

Harry will lead the Singapore business and strengthen the firm's equity advisory and financial transactions practices across Singapore and Southeast Asia. With a background in investor relations and capital markets, he brings more than 16 years of experience across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Previously based in Hong Kong, Harry has worked with clients in Singapore and Southeast Asia over the past five years.

As Global Policy Partner Asia, Andrew brings experience in political risk, regulatory strategy, and stakeholder engagement. He is joined by four colleagues: Managing Director Raihan Zulimran, formerly of the Monetary Authority of Singapore; Director Nicholas Lee, previously with Sea Limited and SGX Group; and Associate Directors Brendan Pinto, formerly of Singapore's Ministry of Finance, and Dedi Dinarto, an Indonesian policy specialist. The appointments will strengthen the firm's public affairs capabilities in Singapore.

Faeth Birch, CEO of UKMEA, FGS Global, said, "Singapore is central to our Asia strategy and to our global ambitions. These appointments reflect our commitment to investing in exceptional leadership and deepening our strategic advisory capabilities for clients across the region. Harry's move to lead the Singapore business, combined with Andrew and his team joining us, gives clients genuine depth in capital markets, in public affairs, and in strategic communications."
