Pivotale AI

🇦🇺 🇸🇬The pace of change in the TMT sector isn't slowing down—if anything, it’s accelerating. This past month, the Pivotale AI team covered a lot of ground, from the inaugural Channel Company Xchange in Singapore to deep-dive briefings in Sydney and Melbourne. Across these events, one theme stood out: the shift from technology-led to advisory-led value is no longer a trend—it’s the new standard. Here’s our breakdown of the month industry Pulse: 1️⃣ Moheb Moses Book Launch: A fantastic evening celebrating “Everything I Know About Selling.” If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a masterclass in the human side of our industry. 2️⃣ The Channel Company Xchange (Singapore): Witnessing the next chapter of the Asian channel ecosystem firsthand. The appetite for AI-driven growth models is higher than ever. 3️⃣ Pax8 Mission Briefing (Sydney): Sharpening our focus on the leadership frameworks required to scale in an AI-first world. 4️⃣ Crayon Channel APAC (formerly rhipe) Connect (Melbourne): A clear message on the pivot to services-led models. The partners winning today are those acting as strategic advisors, not just resellers. 💡 Leadership Beyond the Tech: Strategy is only as good as the culture that executes it. Our team was honored to participate in the Chief Executive Women (CEW) event and join the conversation with Michelle Obama at the ICC. It was a powerful reminder that inclusive, resilient leadership is the ultimate competitive advantage. The takeaway for June? The tools change, but the core—partnerships, advisory value, and human-centric leadership—stays constant. We’re taking these lessons and turning them into the frameworks that define our work this month. Which of these events did you attend? Let’s keep the conversation going in the comments below. 👇 With Levels Ventures | Sarah Bowden | Angie Hawks | Marcel Macinga | Cam Wayland | Kirsten Roy-Reid | Athina Mallis | Ananth Lazarus | Aaron Raj | Karl Ivan Del Rosario | Chance Weaver | Raghu Chary | Hari Tharmakumar | Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC) | SiS Distribution (Malaysia) | Christian Drake | SiS Technologies (Singapore) | Sam Chng #PivotaleAI #ChannelStrategy #TechLeadership #AIGrowth #BusinessStrategy #MayRecap

Data centre giant DayOne is close to filing for an IPO and has been persuaded by the Singapore Exchange to co-list on the NYSE and the SGX. This news came from a Bloomberg report, which has a track record of scoops on data centre developments in Singapore and the region. ✅ Join my WhatsApp Channel (1-click): https://lnkd.in/gfZUWPSe 𝟭/ 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 In its 16 May report, Bloomberg noted that DayOne could file with the NYSE as early as "this week." That weekend, a separate report in the Financial Times noted that it had been persuaded to dual-list on the NYSE and the Singapore Exchange. According to the FT, DayOne was persuaded by SGX officials. The dual-listing initiative is new; Singapore's parliament passed new laws to allow it just two weeks ago. Companies with a market value of more than US$1.5 billion can file a single set of paperwork to list simultaneously. At least 15% of the IPO value must be on the SGX. This means that if the plan goes ahead, the DayOne IPO could well be among the largest on the SGX in recent times. 𝟮/ 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝗢𝗻𝗲? First established in 2022 to hold GDS's data centre assets outside China, DayOne was split off from GDS last year with funding from various international investors. DayOne is developing multiple data centres in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan and Finland. Within the industry, it has built a reputation for fast data centre construction and committing to delivery timelines others won't. And customers have apparently taken note. From what I've heard from a reputable source, DayOne has more customers on its order books than it can take on. 𝟯/ 𝗔 𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗣𝗢𝘀 Data centre development is very strong in Asia, with key markets such as Johor, India, Thailand, Japan, and Batam growing extremely rapidly. It's not just DayOne. Other fast-growing data centre operators are also positioning themselves to go public. Last July, NTT DC REIT listed on the SGX and raised US$733 million, making it one of the largest REIT IPOs on the SGX in nearly a decade. The data centre buildout in Asia has reached the stage where the capital markets want in. And if operators start listing here, that's a win for the SGX in its bid to attract large, high-growth names. 📆 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 ✅ My weekly newsletter: techstories.co/updates ✅ WhatsApp Channel (If 1-click doesn't work): techstories.co/wa 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁: Paul Mah.

The future of the channel isn't just about survival—it’s about speed. 🚀 We are live today at the InterContinental Melbourne for Crayon Channel APAC (formerly rhipe) Connect, and the energy in the room is incredible. The message for the partner community is clear: The "transactional" era of IT is behind us. As the industry shifts toward 2030, the biggest growth opportunity isn't just in selling licenses—it’s in scaling high-value services across AI, data, and security. Key takeaways from the floor today: ✅ Beyond Licensing: Moving from reactive delivery to repeatable, services-led models. ✅ The AI Edge: How to move from AI experimentation to commercial impact for your clients. ✅ Strategic Advice: Positioning partners as the ultimate decision-makers in an AI-saturated market. Huge thanks to the Crayon team for bringing together the sharpest minds in the APAC channel. If you're here today, let’s connect!
