Global Expansion Ahead
Amber Group has appointed Annabelle Huang as the head of its Global X Center initiative. In a press release, she wrote:
“We are setting up a new Global X Center initiative to focus solely on expanding overseas user base through localized strategies and offerings, and it’s a privilege to be in charge of our global growth efforts as this is top priority for our team this year.”
The firm plans to extend its services to “South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, North America and more.”
