Temasek director Lee Theng Kiat joins SIA board
Carlsberg chairman Henrik Poulsen also joins the board.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced on October 19th the appointment of Lee Theng Kiat, 73, as an independent, non-executive director, alongside Carlsberg chairman Henrik Poulsen, 59. Lee, who is not a nominee of SIA's largest shareholder, Temasek, joins the board's executive committee and its safety and risk committee, effective immediately. Poulsen, however, will assume his role on the safety and risk committee on February 15th, 2027.
Lee Theng Kiat, currently the chairman of Singtel and Singapore Energy Interconnections, also serves on the board of Temasek Capital China Holdings. Prior to his appointment, he held positions such as chairman and president of Temasek International, president and CEO of ST Telemedia, and was previously the CEO of SPH Media Trust.
Henrik Poulsen, on the other hand, boasts an impressive career in the energy sector. He served as vice-chairman of Novo Nordisk, CEO and president of Orsted, and CEO of TDC. His expertise will undoubtedly enrich SIA's boardroom discussions and decision-making processes.
