Sam Kim, the current Deputy Chief Operating Officer (COO), has been promoted to COO and will also join the Group Executive Committee (GEC), GIC’s top management entity responsible for major decisions regarding investments as well as organisational and personnel matters.
Bryan Yeo, the present Chief Investment Officer (CIO) for Public Equities, will take on the role of Deputy Group CIO and will become the Director of GIC’s Integrated Strategies Group (ISG).
Meanwhile, Mark Ong, who currently serves as Head of Asia Pacific Equities, will replace Yeo as the CIO for Public Equities.
