KPMG’s “Be in Front” Global Talent Model Powers Ecosystem Advancement in Singapore and Beyond
Through the strength of its globally connected talent base, the firm addresses complex business challenges while contributing its expertise to fill knowledge gaps in ecosystems worldwide. KPMG’s insights and talent strategies reflect best practices that align with Singapore’s broader economic agenda of supporting job creation, skills enhancement and global competitiveness.
“Singapore’s competitiveness as a global hub is interwoven with the calibre of its talent. We are committed to developing our people to create impact locally and globally,” said Lee Sze Yeng, Managing Partner of KPMG in Singapore. “In today’s geopolitical environment, and where technology and regulations evolve at varying speeds, talent needs to navigate considerable ambiguity. Our talent model equips professionals to interpret these ‘in-between’ spaces, identify opportunities and define new pathways for success. This is how we enable our clients and communities to ‘Be in Front’—to lead with confidence and achieve success on a global scale.”
Strengthening Global Talent to Create Global Impact
KPMG believes in using its workforce as a transformative force for industries and communities worldwide. The firm has a robust talent development model, underpinned by strategic efforts to accelerate professional growth, enhance collaboration, and develop a multi-disciplinary workforce:
1. Advanced Expertise and Professional Growth on a Global Scale
Amid evolving global demands, KPMG is equipping professionals to stay ahead of the curve through:
- Futurist Training Programmes: The firm takes a holistic approach towards learning and development, with a focus on data and digital skills, sustainability principles and leadership skills in a global business context. These initiatives ensure that our people are well-equipped to respond effectively to emerging trends and challenges and seize new opportunities.
- Knowledge Exchange Platforms: Structured platforms for sharing insights and strategies across teams enable proactive problem-solving on a global scale.
2. Collaboration for Innovation
Collaboration is central to KPMG’s role as a talent-driven success story. We recognise the power of alliances in fostering innovation that clients and ecosystems can directly benefit from.
- Global Connectivity via Cross-Border Teams: Diverse teams from across our global network of firms bring fresh perspectives and help our clients address regulatory, technological and operational complexities. Our deep insights and experiences across various industries and geographies enable us to deliver additional value to our clients.
- Innovative Culture: Innovation at KPMG is embedded in our DNA. We are not just responsive but proactive, nurturing an environment that thrives on courageous, forward-thinking ideas. This dynamic culture empowers our capable talent to lead on complex issues and co-create high-value, practical solutions. From investments in digital hubs to tools like KPMG Clara and KPMG Digital Gateway, which integrate precision analytics for actionable insights, we deliver cutting-edge results that redefine possibilities for entire industries.
3. Opportunities for Talent Mobility
Global exposure is part of KPMG’s talent ethos, positioning professionals to seamlessly transition between addressing local needs and global challenges. Such exposure also helps the firm’s workforce to develop a well-rounded and multi-disciplinary perspective which is crucial for anticipating trends in the business landscape.
- KPMG Global Talent Network: International mobility frameworks like secondments and tailored exchange programmes ensure that professionals not only gain valuable experiences but also contribute to talent ecosystems abroad.
- Developing a multi-disciplinary workforce: Besides providing professionals with international exposure, KPMG recognises that developing a globally capable workforce starts from efforts at home. The firm’s Explore Programme enables staff to rotate across audit, tax, and advisory over the course of two years, after which they will become a specialist with holistic knowledge of other business functions. Having both depth and breadth of knowledge enables our people to adeptly navigate a complex landscape that cuts across various business areas.
Contributing to Singapore’s Global Competitiveness
The firm’s efforts in these key areas are aligned with Singapore’s strategic goals to grow its leadership pipeline and transform its workforce for continued resilience. By bridging global and local needs, our talent practices support job creation, knowledge transfer and industry readiness.
- Attracting Global Talent: KPMG remains an attractive destination for professionals worldwide. Its environment supports professional success while enriching Singapore’s business landscape.
- Building Ecosystem Capacity: Through secondments and collaborations across teams and with industry players, KPMG’s framework directly harnesses workforce potential across industries. Combining industry expertise and a robust talent strategy, the firm works with strategic partners to enhance business capabilities, such as by imparting insights on how corporates can ensure their talent pool remains competitive and relevant.
- Innovation Leadership: KPMG teams meaningfully contribute actionable insights to areas like digital transformation and sustainability imperatives, reinforcing Singapore’s push for sustainable growth. For example, the firm has analysed the impact of sustainability trends on financial services jobs through its Sustainable Finance Jobs Transformation Map. It has also provided a strategic guide on how local businesses can develop digital talent while embedding sustainability into their operations. These initiatives challenge the firm’s people, clients and organisations in the wider ecosystem to push boundaries and set ambitious goals.

Over 120 event days in first year of operation
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 March 2026 – Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) celebrated its milestone first anniversary on Sunday (1 March), successfully hosting nearly 50 major events and delivering over 120 international and local sports and entertainment days since its grand opening.
KTSP has established a unique identity as the city’s new “Home Venue” for major sports and entertainment events. Highlights have included the Hong Kong Sevens (rugby), the Hong Kong Football Festival featuring top teams such as Liverpool, AC Milan, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as concerts by British rock band Coldplay, Mandopop rock band Mayday, singer Jay Chou and global pop icons BLACKPINK.
Sports activities at the Park have welcomed more than 840,000 participants so far. In terms of sports activities, the three major facilities—Kai Tak Stadium, Kai Tak Arena and Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground—together with the bowling centre, outdoor sports facilities and open spaces in the precinct, are expected to surpass 200 event days from the Park’s opening through to the end of March 2026.
In the past year, the utilisation rates of the Kai Tak Stadium and Kai Tak Arena have reached close to 90%. Kai Tak Stadium has already attracted over 1.8 million attendees, rapidly becoming a powerful new driving force in advancing Hong Kong’s sports industry, events economy, and tourism development.
“Our first anniversary is not only a major milestone for Kai Tak Sports Park, but also a moment of pride for Hong Kong. Over the past year, we witnessed athletes’ determination, outstanding performances from artists, and the unforgettable energy of cheering audiences. Each event has touched and inspired us.
“As Hong Kong’s largest integrated sports, leisure and entertainment landmark, we are committed to bringing the community together while strengthening Hong Kong’s connection with the Greater Bay Area and the international stage,” said a spokesperson for KTSP.
The centerpiece 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium was ranked third in the world and top in Asia for total ticket sales in 2025 just nine months after its debut, according to Pollstar’s 2025 year-end stadium charts (published mid-December 2025). Pollstar also ranked Kai Tak Stadium No.5 worldwide and No.1 in Asia for total gross revenue (1.25 million passes worth US$191.34 million). Meanwhile, the 10,000-seat Kai Tak Arena, was ranked Asia’s No. 8 in terms of total gross revenue.
“Seeing the Park evolve over the past year into a major sports destination for Hong Kong has been incredibly inspiring,” said Hong Kong, China karatedo team former representative, Lee Chun Ho. “Every time I walk in, I can feel the energy. The professional facilities not only support large-scale events but also make it easier for the public to access different sports, whether they’re beginners or experienced enthusiasts.”
With an expanding line‑up of exciting events, enhanced visitor experiences and an increasingly compelling programme of global attractions, KTSP will further advance the integration of culture, sports and tourism, ushering in an even brighter and more vibrant chapter for Hong Kong.

Award recipients are evaluated entirely based on independent performance data, including key indicators such as downloads, monthly active users (MAU), growth rates, in-app purchase revenue, and user engagement. These metrics reflect sustained operational effectiveness and performance over time. Green SM’s recognition not only marks a breakthrough for the brand but also demonstrates consistent growth and sufficient operational stability to be recognized at a regional level.
According to the published results, Green SM achieved 114.4% year-on-year MAU growth in 2025 and ranked No. 1 in downloads among EV-focused carpooling platforms in the region. This performance reflects steady expansion across the company’s operating markets, including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Behind these growth figures lies a systematically built operational foundation. Green SM maintains that growth is only sustainable when accompanied by the ability to deliver consistent service quality across all operating markets. Scaling its electric fleet while ensuring a uniform and reliable user experience has remained a central priority throughout the company’s development.
This operational stability benefits both sides of the platform. Passengers experience transparent, dependable services, while the Green Driver community operates within a clearly structured, long-term-oriented work environment. For Green SM, growth and quality control are pursued in parallel as two core pillars of sustainable development.
Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh – Global CEO of Green SM stated: “Recognition through an independent data evaluation system affirms that the fully electric mobility model we are pursuing is on the right track. More important than growth speed is the trust we earn from users in every market where we operate. That trust motivates us to continuously refine our fully electric mobility model, ensuring stable operations, structured technology deployment, and sustainable long-term development.”
In the context of an increasingly competitive mobile application landscape, recognition grounded in independent performance data demonstrates that Green SM’s growth is built on a structured, scalable operational platform. The ability of an electric mobility model to achieve strong regional growth while maintaining consistent service quality confirms that this is no longer an experimental alternative, but a practical direction for modern urban transportation.
Previously, Green SM was also honored at the VnExpress Tech Awards 2025 with the titles “Outstanding Ride-Hailing App” and “Vietnamese Tech Brand of the Year,” and received the “CXP Best Customer Experience Award,” which recognized its implementation capabilities and consistent operational standards across the system.
