“We were very pleased to have Tern Poh as a guest speaker for our Southern Asia townhall this December. Generative AI is such an important hot topic right now, and can unlock many new ways of working and employee productivity. He gave a comprehensive introduction on Generative AI with many hands-on demos and tips and tricks for our regional colleagues. As a commercial-facing organization, TP was also extremely partnering in taking the time to understand our business model, tailor the session to bring to life sales/marketing-related demos as well. TP was extremely knowledgeable in answering the questions from our team, and we had such good feedback about how insightful the session was. We are definitely hoping to have the chance to work with TP again in 2024!”
