Singlife’s PROPEL appoints new technology chief

The new CTO will focus on enhancing the PROPEL platform.

PROPEL with Singlife has appointed Terry Chen as its new chief technology officer (CTO).

Chen will supervise the platform’s technology strategy, focusing on growing and innovating its capabilities to provide seamless, scalable solutions for financial advisory firms. He will also be responsible for optimising the platform’s operational efficiency, refining user experience, and driving innovation to minimise inefficiencies faced by financial advisers in their day-to-day work.

The new CTO has over 18 years of experience in financial services, technology, and strategy consulting across ASEAN.

Before joining PROPEL, Chen was the principal of Platinion and Technology and Digital Advantage in the Boston Consulting Group. He also held senior roles during his tenure at Accenture and contributed to bank-wide transformation initiatives at Maybank.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
