This move underscores the company’s commitment to strengthening its IB operations, ensuring agility and leadership in an evolving industry landscape. ### Key Changes in IB Leadership
The new structure brings together two senior leaders, Cliff Tam and Ravindran Mahalingam, who will focus on driving the Group’s international business growth.

Ravindran Mahalingam will focus on in-country business expansion and digital infrastructure, including voice, carrier, and cloud communications, mobile identity, and authentication. ### Expanding Roles and Expertise
Cliff Tam, a seasoned executive with over 20 years of experience in HGC’s IB, will spearhead the international data business and drive accelerated growth in carrier wholesale and international enterprise businesses. He will continue to shape HGC’s leadership as the partner of choice for OTT providers, cloud/SaaS companies, and digital media platforms, ensuring cutting-edge solutions for customers worldwide. Ravindran Mahalingam, a veteran of 33 years in telecommunications, including 23 years at HGC, will focus on business expansion and exploring HGC’s investments in digital infrastructure, including subsea cables, Data Center Interconnect clusters, and more. He will also strengthen HGC’s international footprint and enhance its service capabilities. ### Carrier Collaboration
