SINGAPORE — Paul Lee, an industry veteran of more than 20 years, has joined Constellar’s leadership team as Managing Director, Markets, responsible for driving sustainable growth in new and existing markets with the goal of establishing Constellar as a global leader in the MICE industry.
Constellar is one of Asia’s largest trade show and exhibition organisers, with B2B and B2C events across a wide range of sectors including fintech, food and beverage, IT and consumer electronics. Its trade events range from Beerfest Asia, Asia’s largest beer festival, to Comex, Singapore’s largest IT electronics trade show. It also operates Singapore’s largest purpose-built MICE centre, Singapore EXPO, which will soon be Asia’s first Net Zero venue powered by clean energy.
Lee’s experience is a perfect fit for his new role at Constellar, having spent 20 years in the exhibition industry, both B2B and B2C. He specialises in growing businesses through strategy, launches and acquisitions. Most recently, he served as Senior Consultant (Partnerships and Sponsorships) at the Infocomm Media Development Authority, where he successfully established Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG) as a platform for government and industry to connect.
Prior to this, he served as CEO Asia Pacific for Comexposium, where he managed over 170 B2B and B2C events across 11 sectors. He also spent nearly 14 years at Reed Exhibitions (now RXGlobal), where he managed numerous mergers and acquisitions across various sectors.
