ST Engineering has appointed Jeffrey Lam as Group Deputy Chief Executive Officer, with effect from June 1, 2026, reinstating a role that had been vacant for about nine years. The appointment was officially announced on May 28, 2026.
Lam currently serves as Group Chief Operating Officer (Operations Excellence) and President of Commercial Aerospace. He will relinquish both positions when he assumes the Group Deputy CEO role, while continuing to report to Group President and CEO Vincent Chong and to sit on the Group Executive Committee.
In his new position, Lam will support the Group CEO in advancing key strategic priorities, capturing group-wide synergies and strengthening organizational excellence. He will also retain managerial oversight of the Commercial Aerospace business, a core segment that includes MRO, aerostructures and systems, manufacturing and asset management activities.
Kevin Chow, currently Head of Aerostructures and Systems within Commercial Aerospace, has been named to succeed Lam as President of Commercial Aerospace, ensuring continuity in the leadership of this segment.
Lam’s appointment as Group Deputy CEO follows a steady progression within ST Engineering’s aerospace activities. He became President of the Aerospace sector, later Commercial Aerospace, on October 1, 2020, joined the Group Executive Committee on July 1, 2023, and was appointed Group COO (Operations Excellence) on May 1, 2024.
