EVANSTON, Ill. /PRNewswire/ -- In a move to
expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, global sales and
marketing firm ZS recently
opened an office in Singapore. The new office is ZS's fifth location
in Asia and 22nd worldwide.
Dedicated to
helping companies around the world and across multiple industries
address a wide range of sales and marketing issues, the firm
increases its investment in Singapore as the pharmaceutical, biotechnology
and medical device industries continue to boom in the region. Many
large pharmaceutical and medical device companies either already
have a regional headquarters in Singapore or plan to build a presence in the
country.
"Singapore has become a hotbed for
multinational health care companies, and we've helped many of these
firms -- and their affiliates -- address unique sales and
marketing challenges for several years now," said ZS Managing
Director Chris
Wright. "ZS got its start more than 30 years ago in the
pharmaceutical industry and has expanded into many other industries
over the years. The investment in our new location builds on our
strategic success and allows us to be closer and better positioned
to help companies in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region. It also highlights our
commitment to clients around the world."

worked in the firm's Princeton, New Jersey, office, has more than 20
years of experience working with clients across multiple industries
in Asia,Europe and the United States. He has particular expertise in
sales, marketing and product development strategies and processes.
This includes organizational design, post-merger integration,
global product launch strategy, commercial model and customer
experience design, and sales and marketing effectiveness. Zahlan
also has worked extensively on specialty product launches
in Asia-Pacific and has helped clients expand
their operations in the region.
"Pharmaceutical
and medical device companies are challenged to devise commercial
strategies, allocate resources and build and retain a strong team
to tap opportunity in the region's many growth markets," Zahlan
said. "In Singapore, ZS will draw on three decades of experience to
help companies create effective go-to-market strategies, build
their capabilities and frequently operate as an extension of their
teams. The Singapore office will offer the full scope of
ZS services and be a full-fledged sales and marketing partner to
companies in the region."
