Versent Asia is growing fast: meet our new team members

Versent’s ASEAN business is growing explosively: during the 2021 financial year, we achieved triple-digit percentage growth. Since late 2020 we’ve also trebled our customer base, thanks in large part to a lot of new clients joining us from the banking and insurance industries.    

I’m tremendously proud of the hard-working people here in our Singapore office who’ve made this rapid trajectory possible. Since taking on the management of our Asian business, my team have constantly impressed me, and they all deserve hearty congratulations for our success.  

Rapid growth demands that we expand our team, so hiring has been a high priority for me in recent times. We’ve been bringing many new engineers onto the team to meet our customers’ demand for tech specialists to work on their complex cloud migration projects. In addition, we’ve also added extra delivery management roles to support those projects and ensure smooth customer liaison and support. Welcome aboard to all of you – it’s great to have you on the team.  

Now, I’m happy to announce that we’ve also added a host of talented people to our senior team lineup.

Versent Singapore’s busy future  

At Versent, we’re seeing rapidly increasing demand from our Asian customers for experienced engineering teams that can build complex cloud environments. Many of our customers have already started their cloud migration journeys but have realised they need deeper expert skill sets and experience to deliver on their transformation agendas.  

There’s still a lack of expert cloud capability in the broader Singapore market, so I anticipate that demand for Versent’s services will continue to accelerate quickly over the coming months.  

We’re one hundred per cent focused on supporting our existing client base in the successful delivery of their cloud programs, but we’re also continually looking for new, challenging projects where we can make a real difference. At our current growth trajectory, we’re expecting to hire thirty to forty more people before the end of the year.  

Versent’s growing fast, so we’re always looking for ambitious, talented people.
