Altair Global’s Benny Tan Co-Chairs New WERC APAC Regional Affiliate
Altair Global is excited to announce that Benny Tan, Senior Vice President of APAC, has been appointed as co-chair to lead the newly established WERC APAC (Asia-Pacific) Regional Affiliate.
This strategic move by WERC, the leading global organization dedicated to talent mobility, marks a significant milestone in addressing the region’s demand for enhanced support and resources. The WERC APAC Regional Affiliate has been created based on feedback from the APAC community, recognizing the need for a dedicated platform to exchange knowledge and best practices within and across global markets.
Benny’s Continued Leadership with WERC
Benny, who is also currently serving his final year on the WERC board of directors as Vice Chair – Service Provider and holds The Global Mobility Specialist, Talent Management (GMS-T) certification, is excited to take on this new role with the WERC organization during this time of global growth.
“The rebranding of WERC signifies a clear commitment to be truly global and not overly US-centric. WERC APAC will serve as an important network connecting professionals with and throughout Asia while also connecting them to the larger talent mobility community around the world.”
– Benny Tan, SVP of APAC at Altair Global
This appointment comes after Benny’s 16 years of association with the organization, where he served the past three on the board, always dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in the relocation community.
