Singapore – Albert Shu is stepping down from his leadership role at Weber Shandwick after two decades, the firm has confirmed to MARKETECH APAC when reached out to.
“Albert has served over 20 years with the Weber Shandwick Asia Pacific team. He has led his teams with dedication, strategic vision, and a commitment to excellence. We thank Albert for his contributions and wish him all the best,” an agency spokesperson said.

He has spent most his leadership career as the managing director of Weber Shandwick Hong Kong for sixteen years from 2004 to 2021. During his tenure, he was instrumental to the firm’s long-term business success in the local market, driven by the stability and diversity of its client and staff portfolio, brought together by a culture of collegiality.
