Singapore Telecommunications Limited, more commonly known as Singtel, has an almost 140-year-old legacy stemming from its roots in 1883 as the Oriental Telephone and Electric Company.
Following various mergers, rebrands and acquisitions throughout the years, the company has grown to become one of the largest employers in Singapore and the second-largest company on the Singaporean stock exchange.
Esports Insider spoke with Tim Guhl, VP of Sales at Singtel, on the direction the telecoms giant is pursuing, as the firm continues to grow its number of supporting partnerships in the global esports industry.
Guhl’s focus at Singtel is to help their clients in the US gaming space expand their footprint in the APAC Region, whether it goes through him in sales, their venture capital firm, Singtel Innov8’s $250 million venture fund, or through their partners and other subsidiaries such as Australia’s Optimus.
