Singtel to further decentralise organisational structure, appoint data centre operations CEO

SINGTEL announced in a press release on Wednesday (Jun 15) that its Australian subsidiary Optus will directly oversee its Optus Enterprise division from Jul 1 this year. The division was formerly under Singtel’s group enterprise division.

This follows a similar move to decentralise the telco’s organisational structure when its information and communications technology (ICT) arm NCS was spun off from Singtel’s enterprise business and recast as a regional business-to-business digital services provider.

Singtel group chief executive officer (CEO) Yuen Kuan Moon said that the move is in line with the group’s efforts to evolve its operating model to stay relevant and maximise shareholder returns since it began its strategic reset a year ago.
