Wei Lu Tan appointed CEO of Foord Singapore

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Wei Lu Tan as Chief Executive Officer of Foord Singapore with effect from 1 January 2026. Her nomination was approved by the Monetary Authority of Singapore in December 2025, and she also joins the board of Foord Asset Management (Singapore) Pte. Limited.

Wei Lu joined Foord as Chief Operating Officer in early 2025 after a two-decade career at GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund. There, she co-led a global investment support team and worked closely with clients, research partners, and internal investment leaders across public markets. She has also held senior roles in corporate affairs, business planning, and transformation projects. Her depth of experience spans investment operations, governance, ESG integration, and strategic execution.

Wei Lu’s appointment follows the resignation of Agnes Cai, who enjoyed a 10-year tenure at Foord and was CEO for six years until her departure at the end of June 2025 to pursue a new chapter outside of asset management (see Foreword 74). Paul Cluer served as interim CEO through the second half of 2025 while Foord evaluated permanent leadership options. Although Wei Lu had joined as COO, her visit to the Cape Town office — and the alignment she found with Foord’s values, people and purpose — opened the door to a broader role.

Wei Lu brings a calm, considered style to leadership and a deep understanding of what makes investment firms work well behind the scenes. She has already earned the respect of the wider team, stepping up during a period of transition.

Please join us in congratulating Wei Lu and supporting her as she leads Foord’s Singapore business into its next chapter.
