Surbana Jurong (SJ) Group has appointed Kelvin Wong as group chief commercial officer and region head, Asia, effective July 1. He will report to group CEO Sean Chiao.

As group chief commercial officer, Wong will lead SJ’s commercial strategy across the full client lifecycle — from market positioning and business development, to contracts and client management.

As the region head for Asia, he will oversee more than half of SJ’s global workforce. The region also accounted for over 60% of the group’s global revenue in 2025.

Wong previously served as CEO of the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) for six years. Appointed to the role in November 2020, he stepped down on May 1.

Before BCA, he spent 24 years at the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), where he built national capabilities in emerging growth sectors, shaped policy on talent, land and carbon, and led EDB's strategies for conglomerate engagement.

In a June 9 statement, SJ Group noted that his appointment "brings one of the built environment sector's most accomplished leaders into a newly configured role".

Wong said in the statement: "SJ has the ambition and what it takes to make the built environment sustainable, resilient, AI-driven and talent-centric."

Headquartered in Singapore, SJ is a global consultancy specialising in urban development, infrastructure and managed services.
