ST Engineering names Jeffrey Lam as deputy CEO

He will assume the post on 1 June.

ST Engineering has named Jeffrey Lam as group deputy CEO, adding a new leadership role at the group level as the company sharpens oversight across its expanding global business.

Lam will assume the role on 1 June. He currently serves as group chief operating officer and president of commercial aerospace, and will step down from both positions as part of the changes.

He will continue reporting to group president and CEO Vincent Chong and remain a member of the Group Executive Committee. Lam will also continue to oversee the Commercial Aerospace business.

ST Engineering said Lam will support the group CEO on enterprise priorities, including alignment across business units, group-wide synergies, and organisational management.

Separately, the company appointed Kevin Chow as President of Commercial Aerospace with effect from 1 June. Chow currently heads Aerostructures and Systems within the Commercial Aerospace business.

The leadership changes come as ST Engineering continues to execute on its business strategy across its global operations

Earlier this year, the group’s marine unit secured a six-year subcontract worth about $600m from Abu Dhabi Ship Building for the design and platform supply of eight Missile Gun Boats for the Kuwait Naval Force.
