Info-Tech Research Group Announces Singapore Office as Firm Continues to Expand Globally

Info-Tech Research Group has expanded its global presence with the opening of a new office in Singapore and increased investment in New Zealand. The move strengthens the firm's ability to provide localised, outcome-driven support to IT leaders across Southeast Asia and the broader ANZ region, reflecting growing demand for practical advisory as organisations navigate AI disruption, regulatory change, and the evolving security landscape.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Info-Tech Research Group, one of the fastest-growing IT research and advisory firms in the world, today announced its expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region with the recent opening of the firm's office in Singapore. The news marks another major milestone in Info-Tech's global strategy and reinforces the firm's commitment to delivering localised, hands-on support to IT leaders across Southeast Asia. Info-Tech has also announced it is accelerating its growth in the Australia–New Zealand (ANZ) region by increasing its presence in New Zealand.

Info-Tech officially opened its Singapore office in late August 2025, with new team members already in place across key functions to support the region's growing client base.

In parallel, Info-Tech has invested in strategic hiring across New Zealand, with a focus on building a strong foundation of local expertise to meet rising member demand and further accelerate growth in the region.

"Expanding our presence in APAC is a defining moment in Info-Tech's global growth story," says Tom Zehren, CEO of Info-Tech Research Group. "Our future is global, and our commitment to helping IT leaders succeed has never been stronger. By building out dedicated teams across Southeast Asia and New Zealand, we're ensuring CIOs and technology leaders in these markets have direct access to the tools, frameworks, and guidance they need to confidently navigate a climate of exponential change and uncertainty."

Info-Tech is strengthening its ability to serve its steadily growing global member base. Extending what the firm has built in Australia over the past few years will help service increased regional demand for practical, outcome-focused IT advisory, especially as organisations face ongoing complex challenges ranging from regulatory shifts to rapidly evolving security threats.

As part of the company's global expansion, Byron Rudenno has stepped into the elevated role of Senior Vice President, Europe & Asia-Pacific, at Info-Tech Research Group.

"Rudenno's appointment reflects the growing scale of Info-Tech's international operations and the need for strong, dedicated executive leadership across two of the firm's fastest-growing regions," says Zehren. "In this expanded capacity, Rudenno will oversee strategy and client engagement across Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, ensuring members in these markets have direct access to localised expertise and outcome-driven advisory."

"Across Southeast Asia, CIOs are looking for high-impact, localised support," says Rudenno. "Our established teams in Australia, New Zealand, and now our Singapore office will be on the ground to meet increasing demand for our services with greater proximity and precision. This expansion positions us to address the Asia-Pacific market's rising need for direct, trusted IT advisory and highlights our unique ability to scale alongside the organisations we serve."

 "The APAC market is evolving rapidly, and CIOs are prioritising AI adoption as a driver of transformation while also contending with challenges tied to security and global competition," says George Khreish, Managing Partner, APAC. "We're ensuring leaders have what they need to drive measurable impact. Establishing a stronger local presence gives our members in markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and New Zealand the same calibre of AI-focused insights and tailored IT advisory support that we've become known for worldwide."

Alongside regional expansion, Info-Tech is prioritising talent acquisition and hiring initiatives across APAC. 

"As we grow in Southeast Asia and New Zealand, we're committed to creating opportunities for top talent across the region," says Shawn Gibson, Chief Human Resources Officer at Info-Tech. "Our people are at the centre of our success, and building strong local teams ensures we can continue delivering meaningful outcomes for our members while creating career opportunities in high-growth markets."

Key highlights of Info-Tech's APAC expansion include:

• New Singapore office serving Southeast Asia with advisory, research, and client support teams focused on AI adoption, cybersecurity, and IT governance to help CIOs address regional technology and regulatory challenges. This presence extends coverage across Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, with on-the-ground advisory and practical frameworks for emerging priorities such as AI governance, compliance automation, and resilience planning.
• Expanded presence in New Zealand and Australia with strategic hiring to support sectors such as government, education, and financial services, alongside increased investment through the Sydney office to help CIOs implement AI technologies, modernize infrastructure, strengthen security, and manage vendors. This growth will be highlighted at the upcoming Info-Tech LIVE conference in Brisbane in March 2026, which will bring together regional IT leaders to explore strategies for transformation. 
• Strengthened talent pipeline across APAC through ongoing recruitment of regional experts to deliver practical, outcome-focused advisory tailored to local industries and sectors.
• This milestone builds on Info-Tech's continued international growth, further establishing the company as a trusted partner for CIOs worldwide. The APAC growth news is the latest part of Info-Tech's broader global scale-up, with future announcements expected over the coming months.
