Watiga’s platform will allow GLAS to offer a broader suite of services, including those regulated by MAS, through an established team in Singapore. Additional investment will be made to expand the team’s local capabilities and ensure consistent client delivery globally, with GLAS’s existing APAC offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane providing additional operational support to Watiga.
GLAS Founders, Mia Drennan and Brian Carne, said:
“We are delighted to partner with Watiga as a highly respected, long-established business serving the Asian market. The shared ethos, client commitment and premium service delivery has been evident through our discussions, and the complementarity of service offerings will immediately add value for our combined client base.”

The merger will allow us to best serve our combined client base and give our team opportunities for further professional growth.
