SBF Foundation appoints Jean Tan as new CEO

Tan is a former diplomat and was most recently CEO of the Singapore International Foundation.

The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) Foundation has named Jean Tan as its new CEO and concurrently the Chief Social Impact Officer of SBF, effective 1 April 2024.

Prior to her new role, Tan has served as CEO of the Singapore International Foundation (SIF) where she was reportedly responsible for formulating its strategic direction and business plan, as well as instituting best practices to strengthen the organisation, the SBF said in a press release.

She is currently the vice chair of the SIF board.

Prior to joining SIF, Tan has also worked at the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Ministry of Information and the Arts (MICA) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) as a diplomat in Washington DC.

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.
