DBS’ Tan Su Shan tops Fortune’s most powerful women in Asia list

Executives from Temasek, ExxonMobil, Dow, and others also made the cut.

DBS Chief Executive Tan Su Shan, who assumed leadership of the bank earlier this year, has claimed the top spot on Fortune’s list of the Most Powerful Women in Asia.

Singapore continues to stand out in the region, with several prominent executives securing spots on the prestigious ranking.

Amongst them are Png Chin Yee (Temasek, No. 17), Jenny Lee (Granite Asia, No. 30), Geraldine Chin (Exxon Mobil Asia Pacific, No. 43), Puay Koon Chia (Dow, No. 45), Kawal Preet (FedEx, No. 46), Belinda Tanoto (RGE, No. 51), Adeline Sum (NTUC Enterprise, No. 68), Nicole Tan (Shiseido, No. 71), and Michelle Cheo Hui Ning (Mewah International, No. 87).

Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau dominate this year’s MPW Asia list with 34 executives, whilst India and Thailand each count eight. Around 40 newcomers also made the cut.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
