London, UK – Thursday 1st March – Engage Hub, the data-driven customer engagement company, has announced the appointment of Felix Wong as the company’s new VP Sales in Asia Pacific (APAC), with immediate effect. Based in Singapore, Felix will be helping businesses in the region improve the customer service they provide.
