Former STB chief takes advisory role at Grab
Former Singapore Tourism Board chief Lionel Yeo has taken a top advisory role with Southeast Asia’s biggest ride hailing service Grab.
Yeo’s role is advisor to Grab group CEO Anthony Tan.
Yeo stepped down as STB chief executive in May after six years in the role.
Ths STB recently announced Keith Tan Kean Loong as Yeo’s permanent replacement.
Yeo has more than two decades experience in the public sector and Grab will be hoping Yeo’s government connections will help as it continues expanding in Singapore and across the region.
Grab has come under fire by Singapore’s regulator which says some aspects of Grab’s acquisition of Uber’s regional operations is potentially anti-competitive.
Yeo will work closely witb Grab’s CEO to map its growth strategy across the region.
"Grab is at an inflection point as it transforms from an on-demand transport solution to a super app, and I look forward to contributing as Grab embarks on its next phase of growth," Yeo said.
