Following an extensive international search, AmCham Singapore announced that the Board of Governors has appointed Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Hsien, who is currently the Interim Executive Director, will assume the new role immediately.

Hsien has been an active member of AmCham for over a decade. Having served as a Co-Chair of the Healthcare Committee and subsequently a member of the Board of Governors, Hsien is intimately familiar with the Chamber and its operations. 

In addition to her AmCham experience, Hsien brings a wealth of global experience, including corporate communications, advertising and promotion, and government affairs. Most recently, she was Vice-President of Medical and Scientific Affairs at Medtronic, Asia Pacific.

Dwight Hutchins, Chairman of the Board of Governors of AmCham Singapore. Said: "with her strategic and commercial capabilities, she will ensure that AmCham maintains its instrumental role in representing U.S. business and promoting our members' continued commitment to Singapore and the region. The new year will be no less exciting than previous years, especially as we look forward to hosting the AmChams of Asia-Pacific Business Summit in March. Under Hsien's capable leadership, 2020 will be one of AmCham's most productive and successful years yet."

"This is an exciting time in Singapore, the Asia-Pacific region, and the United States. Our members are looking to AmCham to provide value in the areas of advocacy, insights, and connections particularly as we enter into the third decade of the 21st century. It is imperative that we strengthen the AmCham community so that we not only support one another's business success but also make a greater positive impact in Singapore," said Lei.
