London, 24 July 2025 - Sparta Global is proud to announce the appointment of Tia Cheang to its Advisory Board to help drive its strategic growth across the insurance sector.

An internationally recognised leader in data, AI and digital strategy, Tia brings over two decades of senior experience driving large-scale transformation across regulated industries, including health, telecommunications, and financial services.

Tia’s appointment marks a significant step in Sparta Global’s mission to empower insurance organisations with the digital skills and strategic capabilities needed to innovate in a fast-evolving, tech-driven economy.
