Genting Singapore chief financial officer (CFO) Lee Shi Ruh has been appointed president and chief operating officer (COO), filling a position that had been vacant for three years.

The role was last held by former president and COO Tan Hee Teck, who was promoted to chief executive officer in May 2022.

Lee has now stepped down as CFO, the group announced in a bourse filing on Friday (Aug 1). That role will be taken over by Ang Suat Ching, currently CFO of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Genting Singapore. Ang will retain her role at RWS.

These changes follow the retirement of Tan, who stepped down as CEO and chairman of RWS in May.

From Jun 1, Lim Kok Thay, executive chairman of the Genting Group, assumed the role of acting CEO, while Lee took on the position of CEO of RWS.

“These appointments reflect our commitment to leadership renewal as the group enters its next phase of growth,” said Lim.

He added that Lee “brings a proven track record of sound decision-making, strategic discipline, and a clear understanding of the group’s long-term priorities, which will be invaluable in her expanded role as president and COO”.

He also noted that Ang’s financial expertise will support the group’s long-term value creation.
