In line with the restructuring, Ng Tian Chong, a veteran executive from Hewlett-Packard (HP), was brought in to head the newly consolidated consumer and enterprise business. It has been over a year since Ng joined, and he has set in motion several plans for the group to grow within Singapore despite the highly competitive landscape.
In response to the evolving telecommunications landscape in Singapore, Singapore Telecommunications (SGX:Z74
) (Singtel) announced last April its decision to consolidate its consumer and enterprise businesses into a single operating entity. This strategic move aims to enhance growth, synergies and productivity at the national level.
In addition, Singtel established a standalone infrastructure unit called Digital InfraCo. This new division will encompass the group’s regional data centres, subsea cable operations and satellite carrier businesses. Paragon, the telco’s platform for 5G multi-access computing (MEC) and cloud orchestration, will also be part of the unit.
