Medley Group now intends to establish a Philippine corporation as one of its key business sites to propel the group’s global business over the long term.
“We believe the Philippines is one of the most attractive places to open our new offices,” said Kohei Takiguchi, President and CEO of Medley, Inc. “The Philippines is well known as an important operating base for a number of global services, and its pool of excellent talent is essential for providing high-value services over the long run.”
