During this time, SGX has significantly expanded its market coverage, product suite and client capabilities, increasing the demands on platform resilience, execution and service delivery. To enable the next phase of growth, SGX is reinforcing dedicated leadership for technology and operations. This will enable faster delivery of new capabilities and strengthen the Group’s ability to execute change at scale. With effect from 6 May 2026, Nick Sawyer has been appointed Chief Information Officer Designate, reporting to the CEO. He will assume the role of Chief Information Officer from 1 July 2026, leading SGX’s technology strategy and overseeing platform resilience and architecture, proprietary technology and IP, cybersecurity and disciplined change delivery. Lester Ngoh will be appointed Head of Exchange Operations Designate from 6 May 2026, reporting to the CEO.
