LONDON - Feb. 2, 2017 - PRLog -- ZEDRA is continuing to strengthen its industry presence with the appointment of two new Business Heads. Based in the Singapore office, Yuan Yuan Woo, Executive Director, and Nithya Camoens, Director, will be key to drive new business, foster relationship building and support the underlying efforts of the company as it continues to expand and grow in Asia.

"We are developing an experienced and highly qualified team by adding premium resources to help us manage our growing client base and, most importantly, to underscore our continued commitment to providing excellent client service," says Wendy Sim, Managing Director, ZEDRA Singapore.

Yuan Yuan Woo will head new business for trust services. She will also have a focus on key client relationship management. Ms. Woo is a member of the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountant (ISCA) and a Certified Financial Planner with Financial Planning Association of Singapore. She is also a qualified Trust and Estate Practitioner with STEP.

"Yuan Yuan has spent almost 20 years carefully establishing and maintaining trust structures with Asian families that has required a great deal of attention to detail and commitment as family dynamics change and evolve," continues Wendy. "She began her career in tax services for PwC, before moving to a number of private banks including Citibank, DBS and UBS where she advised private clients on succession and estate planning matters.

"Yuan Yuan Woo comes to ZEDRA with a serious skillset in client management and client focus. She has the adaptability, resourcefulness and marketplace knowledge required to help grow the Singapore office and our client business in Asia," says Niels Nielsen, ZEDRA CEO.

Nithya Camoens will be responsible for developing corporate solutions to complement ZEDRA Singapore's private client offering.

Nithya Camoens most recently spent five years at PwC Singapore, where she was responsible for managing the company secretarial practice there. Prior to PwC, she worked for a private management group whose international operations spanned the Asian continent, and rising through the ranks, she held various senior positions for the group's operations in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as assisted in the setup of offices in India, Mauritius and Cambodia. Nithya has a post-graduate diploma in Finance from the

London School of Economics, and a First Class Honours Degree in Business Information Technology from Coventry University

"We are thrilled to add Nithya to our team," says Wendy Sim. "In addition to her strong background in corporate organisations, there is no doubt she understands the discipline and dedication of being a team player with a varied experience in compliance, company legislation and corporate transactions".

"Nithya brings a solid understanding in corporate business, as well as great enthusiasm, experience and personality to the Singapore team," says Niels Nielsen. "I'm certain our clients and our extended ZEDRA team will enjoy working with her as much as I will."
