Global HR body WFPMA appoints first Singaporean leader

SHRI President Peck Kem Low will lead the development and implementation of the Federation’s operational plans.

The Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI) announced that its President, Peck Kem Low, has become the first Singaporean to be appointed as President of the World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA).

“I hope my contributions in the next two years will place Singapore firmly on the world map as a champion of inclusive, progressive, and human-centric people practices,” Low said in a personal note on LinkedIn.

As WFPMA President, Low will lead the development and implementation of the Federation’s operational plans.

Her responsibilities include strengthening the global HR profession, facilitating research, and promoting the adoption of international HR standards.

Low is the second woman in WFPMA’s history to hold this position.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
