SGX chief regulatory and risk officer to retire

Singapore

FOR more than nine years, Yeo Lian Sim stood guard over the Singapore Exchange (SGX) as its top risk and regulatory officer. She will step down at year-end, but filling her shoes is such a gargantuan task that two people will take over her portfolio.

Ms Yeo, 64, will retire when the new year arrives, but will retain a role as special adviser to SGX. Replacing her as chief regulatory officer will be current deputy chief regulatory officer Richard Teng. The chief risk officer hat will be donned by Agnes Koh, who is currently head of clearing risk. Like Ms Yeo, Mr Teng and Ms Koh held positions at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) before joining SGX.
