ST Engineering today announced the appointment of Jeffrey Lam as group deputy chief executive officer, with effect from June 1, 2026. Lam, currently group chief operating officer (operations excellence) and president of commercial aerospace, will relinquish both roles. In his new position, he will continue to report to Vincent Chong, group president and chief executive officer, and remain a member of the group executive committee.
ST Engineering is growing in global scale, underpinned by a robust order book and disciplined execution of its strategy. As the group continues to expand, the increasing breadth of its businesses requires stronger focus at the group level to drive alignment and synergies across the organization.
As deputy CEO, Lam will support the group CEO in advancing key enterprise priorities, capturing group-wide synergies and strengthening organizational excellence. He will also provide management oversight for the commercial aerospace business.
“This appointment strengthens our leadership bench at the group level,” said Vincent Chong. “With his strong track record in business management and leadership, Jeffrey brings the experience and perspectives to advance our strategic priorities and strengthen our organizational capabilities across the group.”
Concurrently, the group will appoint Kevin Chow, currently the head of aerostructures and systems at Commercial Aerospace, to succeed Jeffrey as president of Commercial Aerospace.
