New NCS chief bets deeper on government contracts, even as AI shrinks the workload
Sam Liew, two months into the job, has done an internal restructuring to re-organise and grow its talent
[SINGAPORE] When Sam Liew took the helm as CEO of Singtel’s subsidiary NCS on Apr 1, he inherited a business in which government contracts accounted for more than 69 per cent of its revenue in FY2026.
His first order of business as the new boss was to bet even bigger on the government.
“We are doubling down (on the) Singapore government,” he said in an exclusive interview – his first sit-down one as CEO – with The Business Times.
