Storm5 Launches in Singapore

Storm5 has entered the RetailTech talent market in Singapore and is already finding top talent for the RetailTech and E-commerce tech sectors.

Led by Kai Man, the business is dedicated to solving a major pain point for tech businesses in the Asia Pacific region – the hiring and retention of top talent. The RetailTech recruitment expert aims to become the go-to talent marketplace for businesses in APAC and worldwide. The Singapore-based brand will serve clients throughout Asia Pacific, with a particular focus on Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia.

In Singapore, Kai is leading a team of seven expert consultants, all specialists in Retail Technology. Storm5 covers a range of spaces within the RetailTech Industry including E-commerce, Extended Reality, MarTech, Supply Chain Logistics and InstoreTech. Under Kai’s leadership, the team aspires to enhance itself this year by having a projected team growth of 12; four consultants dedicated to each subsector: Engineering & Data, Product, and Sales & Marketing.

The RetailTech recruitment powerhouse was founded in 2021 in London by Olivier Kerckhove with a vision to build the most powerful and efficient RetailTech and E-Commerce Talent Ecosystem Globally. Since its launch, Storm5 has worked with dozens of clients from the RetailTech and E-commerce industries. With a global headcount of 80, the team is driven by the desire to contribute to the creation of an outstanding B2B/B2C online customer experience by connecting extraordinary talent and fast growth scale-ups.

“It’s an exciting time for RetailTech in Asia Pacific with tech such as AR and VR enhancing live commerce, and AI fuelling personalised customer experiences”, said Kai Man. “Our launch in Singapore is a defining moment for our brand, as it expands our reach and allows us to better serve our clients in the region. This new office is a testament to our commitment to our mission.”

The launch of the Singapore office marks the brand’s third location, joining existing offices in London and Amsterdam, further solidifying its position as a global leader in the industry. With this expansion and its global network of talent, the brand is poised to better serve its clients, particularly those looking to expand into Asia and tap into its thriving market from all corners of the world.
