Also amongst those who joined the council were Boon Gin, CEO of SGX RegCo and Chairman of SATA CommHealth; Juliet Teo, joint head of Portfolio Development Group and Head of Singapore Market, Temasek International and board director of CapitaLand Group; and Gregory Vijayendran, member of Charity Council and honorary general secretary of National Council of Social Service

They will be joined by the following Council members who have been re-appointed for another two-year term: Azriman Mansor, board of director for Yayasan Mendaki and council member of Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS); Jonathan Eu, CEO and board director of Singapore land Group Limited; Euleen Goh, chairman of Singapore Institute of Management and board director of Jebsen & Jessen Pte Ltd; Han Neng Hsiu, dean and CEO of Civil Service College; Deputy Secretary (Leadership), Public Service Division; and Ong Ai Hua, deputy secretary (Family and Society) of Ministry of Social and Family Development.

The CBD, established by MSF, aims to promote board diversity by increasing the number of women directors in listed companies, statutory boards, and charities in Singapore.

This change renews nearly two-thirds of the Council, providing access to new perspectives and insights.

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.
