Kalido has grown considerably in the past 12 months to now have over 60 team members across its four offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore and Hong Kong.

“We’re continuing to grow our position in the Australian market as a customer experience firm that is both strong in strategy development and delivery, and backed by world class technology,” Norton said.

“In addition to bringing on board Simon, in the past six months we have also added new team members to our Southeast Asia team following new client wins.”
