Ng Kuo Pin will be handing over the CEO role at NCS to his deputy Sam Liew with effect from April 1.
In the seven years Ng is at this role, he has helped grow this Singtel subsidiary with a series of acquisitions across the region.
"He broadened its business footprint and deepened its capabilities and we thank him for his valuable contributions," says NCS chairman Lim Swee Say.
"We have every confidence that Sam will continue to build on that legacy and take NCS to the next level as it deepens its focus on AI-driven innovation," adds Lim.
Singtel group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon says NCS, under Ng, has emerged as a key growth engine of Singtel, with revenue growing from $1.8 billion in 2021 to $3 billion now.
"We look forward to a smooth transition to CEO-designate Sam Liew who has an equally strong handle on NCS’ workings and its growth trajectory," says Yuen.
