Key Management Personnel
In line with its transformation into an investment company, Straits Trading has adopted a more
streamlined corporate structure with executive staff manning only key corporate functions.
The operational management of its individual portfolio companies now rests with the chief
executives of the respective businesses, supported by their individual management teams.
Maintaining a leaner executive headcount at Straits Trading while concentrating management
of the businesses within the operating entities will, not only facilitate faster decision-making
and better responsiveness to market developments, but also leverage off the repertoire of
operational expertise of the executive teams at the different portfolio businesses.
