SMU Associate Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) and Academic Director of SMU’s Business Families Institute Kenneth Goh said UOB’s milestones under UOB's Chief Executive Wee Ee Cheong’s leadership reflect the chief executive’s entrepreneurial instincts. “UOB’s smooth transition from Mr Wee Cho Yaw to Mr Wee Ee Cheong is a testament to the bank’s forward-thinking approach to succession planning,” said Assoc Prof Goh. He added, “Looking beyond Mr Wee Ee Cheong’s leadership, I think the question is how his successor will continue to perpetuate the values and culture that have helped the bank stand the test of time, as it continues to expand.”
