Commenting on Beaumont’s appointment, Asia House Chairman Lord Green said: “The digital revolution is already driving profound change in Asia, transforming societies and creating new opportunities for business and innovation. As President of Google Asia Pacific, Scott is central to these developments, and brings a wealth of knowledge and insights on Asia’s tech trends to the Advisory Board.
“Scott’s addition to the Board will add considerable value to Asia House and our members, clients and wider network.”

Beaumont said: “Asia is where most internet users live, it’s home to the world’s fastest-growing digital economies, and its thinkers and leaders are increasingly setting the pace for innovation globally.
“These developments matter to every trading economy and company, so Asia House’s work on technology issues will only become more important over the next few years. I’m pleased to have the opportunity to add my perspective, learn from others on the board and staff, and work together to contribute to the region’s future.”
