Isaac Mah Appointed SingPost Group CFO Amid Strategic Changes
Portfolio - People | Jan 22, 2025 | EIN
SingPost has named Isaac Mah as its new group chief financial officer. Mah transitions into this role following his tenure as CFO of Freight Management Holdings, a SingPost subsidiary in Australia. His appointment is part of a strategic succession plan and he is expected to guide the group's future direction. With a background in strategic investments and financial steering, Mah has been instrumental in previous mergers and acquisitions and strategic initiatives, including a proposed divestment in Australia. This leadership update comes in the wake of several senior executive terminations related to mishandling internal investigations concerning illegal parcel delivery updates. The oversight involved fraudulent status updates for parcels, causing a strategic review of SingPost's international business operations. Shares of SingPost saw a slight decrease following these developments.
