Singapore, January 21: dss+ announced today strategic leadership changes to its Executive Leadership Team (ELT) in Asia Pacific. These changes support the company’s goals to accelerate impact on clients, develop internal talent, and deliver on its purpose of saving lives and creating a sustainable future in the region.
“We remain committed to growing our leaders and providing new development experiences, while leveraging their experiences to help our clients achieve breakthroughs in operational safety, performance and sustainability that drive lasting success,” said Davide Vassallo, CEO of dss+. “These leadership changes will further strengthen our growth trajectory and evolution of our firm.”
Advancing Growth in Asia Pacific’s Dynamic Markets
The Asia Pacific region remains a critical driver of global economic expansion, contributing approximately 60% of global growth in 2024, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). With a projected GDP growth of 4.4% in 2025 — outpacing the global average — the region continues to demonstrate remarkable economic resilience.
As a critical hub for heavy industries, dss+ observes significant developments across key sectors where the company has been actively expanding its operational excellence capabilities. The region is experiencing transformative changes in petrochemicals, energy, industrial manufacturing, and infrastructure. Major economies such as China, India, Australia, Japan, and some Southeast Asian nations are advancing strategically in industrial transformation, focusing on sustainable manufacturing, advanced petrochemical capabilities, and building resilient supply chains and infrastructure.
