Powell workd closely with Kudosity CEO, Alex Macpherson, and will oversee both the Burst SMS Wholesale and Kudosity operations in Asia from a Singapore base. His appointment and relocation to Singapore from Australia firmly establishes the company’d presence in the Singapore market.

Commenting on his new role, Powell said, “I am excited to join Kudosity at such a promising time, both for the company and the region. With many players consolidating operations and reducing local footprints, there is a significant opportunity for Kudosity to step up and fill the gap to provide enhanced services in a region that continues to demand innovative messaging solutions. I look forward to working with the team to further expand Kudosity’s operations across Asia and bring even greater value to our customers.”
