**The US-based technology consultancy is recruiting cloud, data and AI specialists as it strengthens its regional operations, targeting demand from financial services, government, retail and energy companies.**

Global business and technology consultancy [Slalom](https://www.slalom.com/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) has designated Singapore as its Southeast Asian hub, backed by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), as it expands its enterprise AI and digital transformation business across the region.

Announced on 3 November, the move connects Slalom’s established operations in Australia, New Zealand and Japan with Southeast Asian markets. The company is expanding its Singapore team across cloud, engineering, data, artificial intelligence and business development.

The expansion builds on Slalom’s existing Singapore presence. The consultancy strengthened its local leadership team in 2025, including the appointment of Varun Kumar to lead Southeast Asian sales and go-to-market activities.

## Targeting enterprise demand across industries

Slalom identifies financial services, the public sector, retail and consumer goods, and energy and natural resources as sectors generating demand for its services.

Its focus includes modernising enterprise technology infrastructure, developing cloud-native applications and integrating AI into business operations.

For Southeast Asian enterprises, the expansion adds another international provider competing for technology transformation projects, particularly those requiring both local implementation capabilities and access to global expertise.

The consultancy operates across 54 offices in 12 countries and works with enterprise, mid-market and public-sector organisations.

## Building regional AI capabilities

Slalom’s Singapore recruitment plans cover technical and commercial roles, including cloud engineering, data and AI.

The company also intends to explore partnerships with local institutes of higher learning to develop technology talent.

Singapore EDB Vice President for Global Enterprises Clare Lee welcomed the expansion, highlighting opportunities to develop skilled employment and strengthen enterprise digital transformation capabilities.

The company has not disclosed the number of positions it intends to create, its investment commitment or a timetable for expanding operations into additional Southeast Asian markets.

## What changes for Southeast Asia?

Slalom’s decision positions Singapore as a base for serving regional enterprises rather than simply another local consulting office.

For businesses evaluating AI and cloud transformation partners, its expanded presence could provide additional access to implementation expertise and international technology partnerships.

For technology professionals, the immediate development is recruitment across several high-demand specialisations.

The larger commercial question is how quickly Slalom can translate its regional ambitions into local delivery capacity and enterprise projects beyond Singapore.

The announcement establishes its strategic direction, but does not identify new Southeast Asian customer contracts or quantify the scale of the expansion.
