He will take on a new role at Totalisator Board.

Tan Choon Shian will end his stint as Chief Executive of Workforce Singapore (WSG) on 1 July, following his appointment at the Totalisator Board (Tote Board).

From 1 April to 1 July, he will concurrently serve as Chief Executive for both the WSG and the Tote Board.

Tan will succeed Fong Yong Kian, the Chief Executive of the Singapore Totalisator Board, who will vacate the position on 1 July.

Succeeding Tan as WSG chief executive will be Dilys Boey, Enterprise Singapore's current Deputy CEO for Industry Clusters.

Under Tan’s leadership, WSG scaled up its career assistance by expanding the reach of its service touchpoints and developing MyCareersFuture into a digital job-matching platform for jobseekers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
