The members will serve a two-year term.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) has appointed Gan Seow Kee and Goh Swee Chen as co-chairs, along with six new members, to the Council for Board Diversity (CBD) in 2025, with the members serving a two-year term.

Gan, deputy chairman of Singapore LNG Corporation, was formerly chairman and managing director of ExxonMobil Asia Pacific; whilst Goh is the chairman of the Nanyang Technological University Board of Trustees and National Arts Council and is a board director at JTC Corporation and Singapore Airlines.

MSF also welcomed the following new members: Ang Shih-Huei, deputy honorary secretary of the Singapore Business Federation Council and board director of Sentosa Development Corporation; Datuk Maimoonah Hussain, board director of Hong Leong Asia Ltd. and Singapore Exchange Limited; and Dr. Seow Yian San, president of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations.

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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
