Microsoft names Chia Wee Luen as new managing director in Singapore

Singapore – Microsoft recently announced Wee Luen Chia as its new managing director for Singapore. In his new role, Wee Luen will oversee Microsoft’s operations in Singapore, guiding the company’s initiatives in cloud, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation. 

His leadership is expected to support Singapore’s ongoing digital growth and strengthen collaboration across the wider Southeast Asia region.

Bringing over 20 years of experience in enterprise technology, Wee Luen has held senior roles across the region, including positions at Red Hat, Qlik, Oracle and, most recently, ServiceNow, where he was managing director for Asia.

“I am deeply passionate about empowering customers, partners and communities, so I’m honoured to join Microsoft Singapore at this pivotal moment,” Wee Luen shared. 

He added, “I look forward to collaborating with the team, our partner ecosystem, and visionary customers to capitalise on this transformative era of AI, shaping Singapore’s future together.” 

Beyond his corporate career, Wee Luen contributes to the technology and social impact landscape in Singapore. He serves on the Digital & Technology Committee of the Children’s Cancer Foundation and chairs the Tech for Good Committee of the Singapore Computer Society.

Mayank Wadhwa, ASEAN president at Microsoft, commented on how Singapore is the cornerstone for Microsoft in Southeast Asia for driving innovation, deepening regional collaboration, and accelerating customer success. 

“Under Wee Luen’s leadership, we will empower our customers to harness the full power of technology to drive meaningful impact and unlock the region’s extraordinary potential,” Mayank said. 

He succeeds Lee Hui Li, who played a key role in advancing Microsoft’s presence and partnerships in Singapore.
