ZEDRA is continuing to strengthen its industry presence with the appointment of two new Business Heads.

"Yuan Yuan Woo comes to ZEDRA with a serious skillset in client management and client focus. She has the adaptability, resourcefulness and marketplace knowledge required to help grow the Singapore office and our client business in Asia," says Niels Nielsen, ZEDRA CEO.
