Chris Mitchell, Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Elemental Concept.

Appointment of new Singapore-based Managing Director follows the tech consultancy's recent acquisition of New Zealand design firm Purple Shirt, signaling a focused regional growth strategy.

Tech consultancy Elemental Concept has named Chris Mitchell its new Managing Director for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The Singapore-based role tasks Mitchell with leading the firm’s expansion, a move that comes shortly after its acquisition of Purple Shirt, a New Zealand strategy and design consultancy.

Mitchell brings more than 15 years of experience in digital and technology transformation projects, having worked with clients across the financial services, insurance, retail, and healthcare sectors.

The appointment is a key part of Elemental Concept's plan to integrate its core IT services with the customer experience and design capabilities it gained through the Purple Shirt acquisition. The combined offering is intended to provide a more comprehensive service for clients in the region looking to undergo digital transformation or accelerate their market entry.

“With the addition of Purple Shirt’s strategy and design expertise, we can now offer clients a seamless blend of IT services, digital innovation and customer experience design,” Mitchell stated. “Our goal is to help clients accelerate digital transformation and product innovation in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.”

Bimal Shah, CEO of Elemental Concept, noted that Mitchell’s experience in delivering large-scale transformation projects was a critical factor in his appointment. Shah said that Mitchell's ability to connect technology with commercial outcomes, combined with the recent acquisition, will help position the firm as a digital transformation partner in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and other regional markets.
