In her new role, Lim will grow the brand and bring it to greater heights.

Lim's appointment follows the retirement of Paddy Rangappa, who was general manager with Pizza Hut Singapore for over six years.

We thank Rangappa for his invaluable contributions and wish him a fulfilling and joyful retirement,” added Khanna.
