Meet Raymond Yeo, System Specialist in the Technical Production department at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. Raymond, or Baba as he is fondly known, has been integral in the livestreaming and digitalisation of programmes together with colleagues in Digital Marketing, Information Technology and Technical Production. He also came up with the idea of an asset management system in Esplanade, so that everyone from production managers to technicians have access to the same inventory.
