ST Engineering has appointed Jeffrey Lam as Group Deputy Chief Executive Officer, with effect from June 1, 2026. The appointment was announced on May 28, 2026, and marks the reactivation of a position that had been vacant for several years.
Lam will step down from his current roles as Group Chief Operating Officer (Operations Excellence) and President, Commercial Aerospace. In his new capacity, he will continue to report directly to Group President and CEO Vincent Chong and remain a member of the Group Executive Committee.
To ensure continuity at the helm of Commercial Aerospace, Kevin Chow, currently Head of Aerostructures and Systems within the business, has been named to succeed Lam as President, Commercial Aerospace.
Lam joined ST Engineering’s aerospace business in 2011 and has held a series of leadership positions with profit-and-loss and business development responsibilities. He became President of the Aerospace sector, later reorganized as Commercial Aerospace, on October 1, 2020, and was appointed Group COO (Operations Excellence) on May 1, 2024, while retaining his Commercial Aerospace role.
The reshaped leadership structure is intended to support ST Engineering’s growth and international expansion, while maintaining dedicated management focus on its core Commercial Aerospace activities, including MRO, conversions and related services.
