    AS SHE entered AEM Holdings’ seven-storey office in Serangoon North for the first time, chief executive Amy Leong said she was impressed that it felt like that of a global company, rather than just a local outfit.

    “We have so many engineering centres, not only in Singapore but also in the US and Europe. Being a global company really creates differentiation for us, and we’re very unique in this space,” she said.

    Leong took over on Jul 1 this year from chief executive Chandran Nair, who left the company to “pursue other interests”. She has more than 20 years of experience in the semiconductor test equipment space.
