Diverse experiences lay leadership foundation for Infrastructure Asia chief

SINGAPORE (Dec 13): He comes across as down to earth, approachable and knowledgeable. But what makes Seth Tan, executive director of Infrastructure Asia (IA), the right man to lead the year-old organisation is his 24 years’ experience in the infrastructure sector. One thing that was apparent during a recent interview with The Edge Singapore was his passion for the business. When asked to explain his role, the 48-year-old enthuses: “We make regional infrastructure cases more viable and attractive to Singapore’s private sector by helping regional government counterparts create an enabling environment through knowledge sharing and capacity building.”
