Prudential Singapore has appointed Adele Png as Head of Talent Acquisition and Employee Experience, reinforcing the insurer’s focus on building a future-ready workforce through integrated talent and employee strategies.
Sharing the announcement on LinkedIn, Png said the new role is particularly meaningful because it brings together multiple dimensions of workforce strategy, including talent acquisition, workforce planning, employee experience, people analytics, and ecosystem partnerships.
“The organisations that build sustainably for the future do not look at these areas in isolation. They connect them,” Png wrote, adding that attracting talent is only one part of the equation, while the bigger differentiator lies in creating environments where employees can grow, connect, contribute, and remain engaged over time.
In her new role, Png will work closely with business leaders and HR teams to strengthen workforce capabilities by integrating talent acquisition with workforce planning and employee experience initiatives. She will also collaborate with universities, government bodies, and industry partners to enhance talent pipelines, employer branding, and workforce readiness.
Before joining Prudential Singapore, Png spent more than seven years with KONE as Head of Talent & Culture for Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. During her tenure, she led talent reviews, capability-based workforce planning, leadership acceleration strategies, and succession planning initiatives across more than 20 markets.
Her earlier leadership experience includes senior talent and leadership roles at Takeda, Philips, and Visa, where she focused on executive hiring, graduate leadership programmes, and digital capability development across multiple regions.
Png brings more than two decades of HR and talent leadership experience across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Turkey, and Central Asia. She is known for positioning talent acquisition as a strategic business lever tied to workforce design, succession planning, and long-term organisational capability building.
On the academic front, Png holds a bachelor’s degree in HR Management from Nanyang Technological University. She is also qualified in workforce development and training from Singapore Management University, is certified in organisational design through CIPD Qualifications, and is an accredited leadership coach.
In her professional profile, Png describes workforce capability as a key competitive advantage for organisations navigating transformation and growth.
“Organisations compete on capability, not headcount. When talent architecture is aligned to business strategy, workforce becomes a sustainable competitive advantage,” she said.
