Speakers

Simon Kahn

Vice President, Marketing for Asia Pacific at Google Asia Pacific Pte Ltd

Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei

CEO of AmCham Singapore

As Chief Marketing Officer of Google APAC, Simon Kahn oversees marketing for all of Google’s consumer and business solutions across 16 markets in APAC and leads Google’s Next Billion Users & Payments product marketing globally. His team of over 400 people cover everything from research and insights development to brand management and advertising. Through strategic initiatives and go-to-market activations, they accelerate revenue growth and move user metrics to deliver on business goals. They have helped transform APAC into one of Google’s fastest growing regions and have become a significant contributor to the company’s success.

Through programs that close the digital skills gap and products that offer help across everyday moments, Simon and his team enable access, growth, and opportunity. They empower organizations to leverage digital experiences to connect users with the right information at the right time, improve operational efficiencies, and drive business performance. They aim to help everyone—from individuals to industries—thrive.

APAC is a hotbed for innovation and one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Multiply its scale and diversity with technology’s pace of change and it is no wonder that the global center of gravity is shifting towards Asia. Today, APAC is moving from a “Catch Up” to a “Catch Us” state. The region now
represents one of the most advanced digital economies globally. Outside of the 9-5, Simon enjoys discussing the region’s changing consumer landscape and speaks frequently about technological advancements that are blurring the lines between “offline” and “online” realms.
