James2

I know that a lot of Singaporeans have problems distinguishing between different one-syllable ang moh names, and so this was an important consideration when it came to recruiting Alphabet Media’s new Director of Sales & Marketing.

So please welcome … James (Hosking). The fact that like me he’s also English (technically as a Cornishman he’s ‘South Welsh’) is just a pleasant coincidence. Or alternatively an insufferable imposition, depending on whether you have a soft spot for us Brits.

James2, as he already likes to be called, has been a sales whiz kid for a while, having delivered sales and maketing training for a variety of UK-based firms. He came to Singapore at the end of last year to follow his better half (currently working for Strait Laced), and he is now keen as mustard to build on the success of Public Sector Technology & Management, Asian Security Review and our events business.

James2 has a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Warwick University, and is both a Cancer and an Ox. He’s also a terrific addition to Alphabet Media’s pool team, despite having a wooden leg.
