This press release was issued by Klaviyo.

Klaviyo, the autonomous B2C CRM, today opens its Asia headquarters in Singapore. Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), this is the company’s most significant regional commitment to date, to help Asian retailers build lasting relationships with their customers and capitalise on the AI shopping age.

The office opens with 25+ staff as part of a 150+strong APAC team, built to serve the full region with local leadership and infrastructure from day one. The office opens just as Asia’s consumers enter the AI age of shopping, with brands needing to keep pace by knowing who their customers are, personalising every interaction, and predicting what customers will do next.

Brian Kealey, Klaviyo’s APAC Managing Director, and Eric Fearday, Klaviyo’s Chief Revenue Officer, officiated the opening, joined by Clare Lee, Vice President of Global Enterprises Division from the EDB.

“Klaviyo’s mission is to help consumer brands build direct, lasting relationships with their customers. Singapore was a natural choice for our regional headquarters as it offers deep access to a skilled talent pool, strong connectivity across the region, proximity to a fast-growing customer base, and a maturing AI ecosystem that aligns with Klaviyo's strategic focus. We are scaling our footprint to meet this demand — hoping to expand our regional team to more than 175 employees by the end of the year.”

“Through its Asia headquarters in Singapore, Klaviyo can leverage our robust digital infrastructure and consumer ecosystem to support brands serving Asia’s increasingly savvy consumers. We welcome this investment that will create opportunities for our local talent, and look forward to partnering with Klaviyo as it builds its regional presence from Singapore.”

The opening reflects strong momentum for Klaviyo in Asia, already one of its most active markets. The company now serves more than 115K international customers, while APAC revenue continues to grow at a double-digit rate. This builds on the 35% year-over-year revenue growth outside the Americas in Q2 2026, as part of the company’s nearly $1.5 billion global revenue run rate.

AI is reshaping retail loyalty in Singapore

New Klaviyo research, conducted with over 1,000 Singaporean shoppers*, shows just how much AI has already changed the retail landscape in Asia. Three out of four have already used AI to help find and decide on a product in the last three months, and more than half (51%) are open to AI agents making routine repurchases on their behalf. 58% went as far as to say they’d willingly share more personal data with brands if they received more relevant recommendations in return.

Nearly half of Singaporean shoppers also say the thing they want most is for brands to stop sending irrelevant messages and to treat them as a loyal customer rather than a transaction.

“The growth gap for brands in Asia is a data gap. Customers here move fast, expect personalisation, and have no patience for brands that treat them like a transaction. We have built Klaviyo to solve exactly that, and we are here now, with the team and the infrastructure to back it up.”
