Linesight appoints new Country Lead for Malaysia

Global construction consultancy Linesight has announced the appointment of Michael Freeman to the role of Country Lead, Malaysia.

He has a demonstrated history of effectively managing large-scale construction projects across infrastructure, tech, finance, hospitality and commercial sectors.

Freeman will report to Scott Halyday, Regional Director, South East Asia.
