Asia Pacific

HSMAI is expanding into a new market with the launch of an Asia Pacific chapter. To spearhead that initiative, Christine Toguchi has been appointed by HSMAI Global as managing director, based in Singapore, to facilitate and drive the development of HSMAI membership and establish a chapter in the Asia Pacific region.
