Razer elevates global PR head

Transpower New Zealand has welcomed Louise Griffin to its team as EGM External Affairs. She returns to the energy sector after more than five years at ASB Bank, where she was most recently General Manager, Corporate Affairs.

Louise brings more than 15 years' experience to the role, including over a decade in the energy sector with senior roles at Genesis and Contact Energy.

Edelman has appointed Wai Leong Tang (pictured left) as Head of Public and Government Affairs for Southeast Asia.

Based in Singapore, Wai Leong will work closely with Edelman’s market teams across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam to support organisations in aligning regional decision-making with local government engagement, taking into account differing political, regulatory and stakeholder landscapes across markets. He reports to Delicia Tan, Edelman’s CEO for Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

“Across Southeast Asia, politics and policy are no longer peripheral issues; they are core drivers of business risk, trust and growth,” Wai Leong said. “Leaders today must balance regional strategy with local political realities, while demonstrating credibility with governments, regulators and the public. Our role at Edelman is to help them do that with clarity and confidence.”

Prior to this, he was Head of Public Affairs at H/Advisors.

Edelman also brought in Kenn Yee (pictured right) as Senior Program Manager in Singapore, where he supports the firm’s Southeast Asia public and government affairs arm.

Kenn brings experience in technology policy, AI, data governance, cybersecurity and information infrastructure across Asia Pacific. He helps organisations in understanding policy risks and issues, and in designing engagement strategies with regulators. 

Meanne Dizerens-Lau has joined the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) as Head of the Corporate Communications Division.

She also aims to enhance public transparency, safeguard the organisation’s reputation, and ensure that TWGHs’ services in medical and healthcare, education, community welfare and traditional practices foster public trust and sustain donor support.

Meanne brings over two decades of experience across Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shenzhen, with a portfolio that includes senior roles at Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and Marriott International. Most recently, she led marketing and branding for the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority.
