Quek joined SID in May 2022. Previously the APAC CEO of consulting firm Emergenetics International and co-founder of strategic communications firm Caelan & Sage, Quek spent 13 years as a Naval Combat Officer and Staff Officer with the Singapore Navy. He was awarded the Public Service Star in 2021.
Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) CEO Terence Quek says he will step down from the national association at the end of April 2026, after nearly four years in the role.
In a LinkedIn post published Dec 8, Quek says he “wasn’t actively looking to move”, but was offered “an unexpected and exciting opportunity”, without stating his next role. “After careful reflection, I realised this new role would allow me to learn even more and grow in ways I could not ignore. The decision was not easy, but once I made it, it felt right,” reads Quek’s post.
