Tuesday, 28 February 2023 – Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities (THKMC) announces the appointment of Mr Jason Lee (李德生) as its new Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 March 2023.
THKMC’s Board Chairman, Mr Chang Long Jong, said: “We are pleased to appoint Jason as the new Chief Executive Officer following an extensive 6-month long search by Egon Zehnder, a global management consulting firm. The Board considered both internal and external candidates and following a long deliberation process, decided on Jason based on his outstanding track record and extensive experience in the social service sector. The Board looks forward to Jason realising THKMC’s vision and propelling the organisation to new heights in meeting the needs of our clients.”
Mr Jason Lee studied Human Resources and Management at Murdoch University, and obtained his Master of Science in Marketing from Baruch College (New York). He served as THKMC’s Chief Operating Officer since July 2018. He started his career in THKMC and has more than 20 years of experience in the social service sector and in various leadership and management roles, including overseeing Elderly Services, Human Resources, Information Technology, Corporate Development and Food Operations. He is credited for putting together THKMC’s first 3-Year Strategic Plan in 2021 and leading the organisation through the recent COVID pandemic.
Jason said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to lead THKMC. I thank the Board and the management team for their confidence in me. Since THKMC’s inception, I’m proud to have witnessed the growth of the organisation, and to have led the organisation through the challenging pandemic period. I’m also grateful to have the support of THKMC’s staff, and I aspire to transform the organisation into a forward-thinking, technology and innovation-driven organisation to better serve the needs of our more than 50,000 beneficiaries and the Singapore community at large.”
