“I am excited to be taking on this role at a particularly challenging time for leaders, brands and organisations. The rise of citizen movements, spread of fake news and activist shareholders have the ability to impact the reputation and influence of management and the company.

Together, I am confident that we will be able to build new links and strengthen existing relationships while boosting business for Engage SEA and our clients,” Moses said.

He also worked with a host of leading Malaysian brands and government-linked companies, including Khazanah, Iskandar Investment Bhd, Legoland, Sunway, Bursa Malaysia, Lynas Corp, CIMB, Alliance Bank, Bernas, UEM Land, Manulife, Dialog, Goodyear, Usaha Tegas Group, MEASAT, Deutsche Bank and Guinness.
He was last with Sapura Energy in the President and Group Chief Executive’s Office as strategic communications advisor for seven years until December 2019.
Moses was previously the managing director of Ogilvy Public Relations Malaysia and later, Senior Advisor and Ogilvy Group Director of Business Development from 2008 to 2012.
For over two decades between 1983 to 2003, Moses worked as a chief correspondent/editor for the Reuters international news agency in the United States, Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
