I
n 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.
