Sinclair strengthens integrated comms offering with two senior appointments

Decantas Communications, an independent consultancy specialising in financial and corporate communications across Asia, has launched with Hong Kong as its hub.

Led by Deborah Tsui (pictured, left) and Linda Pui (pictured, right), the consultancy has a growing team across Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing and Shanghai, with Tokyo and Taipei set to follow. It also works with partners in Seoul, Sydney and across Southeast Asia, providing regional coverage through a centralised point of contact.

“We know companies want their advisors to be agile across the region to align with their business growth, and they need advice based on deep market and industry knowledge,” said Deborah. “That’s why Decantas will operate seamlessly across Asia Pacific, providing our clients with senior-hands-on counsel which can flex with their needs.”

Linda added: “We both bring over 20 years of experience managing complex situations for many of the world's best-known financial institutions and public and private companies. And we’ve done it both as consultants and in-house, so our natural approach is to operate as if an extension of a company’s team, with a long-term perspective, focused on their objectives, helping them navigate market and regulatory environments across Asia to consistently reach their goals.”

The Decantas team said the new consultancy will combine its experience and industry heritage with a focus on trusted advice, adaptability, persistence and an entrepreneurial approach.
