On 15 April 2020, Mr. Lee was appointed to Executive Vice Chairman and on 1 July 2023, he resumed the position of Group Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Lee is a barrister-at-law from the Bar of England & Wales by Inner Temple and holds a LLB (Honours) from King’s College London. He has also served at the London and Singapore offices of a leading international financial services group for approximately two (2) years.

In leading IOIPG, he provided resolute leadership in formulating high-level strategies to sustain growth across all business segments for the Group and led the transformation to increase the presence across Malaysia, Singapore and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Under his stewardship, IOIPG strengthened its presence in Singapore. In 2016, the Group acquired a site within the Marina Bay Financial Centre for the development of IOI Central Boulevard Towers, a premium Grade A office space, and in 2017, commemorated the grand opening of JW Marriot Hotel Singapore, South Beach (a JV development). The Group further increased its footprint in 2021 by acquiring a 0.78 hectare land to develop Marina View Residences and a 350-room hotel, the W Singapore - Marina View.

In the PRC, the Group continued to bolster its presence in Xiamen since its first foray of acquiring a 7.7-acre site in the Jimei District to develop IOI Park Bay and subsequently, securing an additional 44 acres of land to establish IOI Palm City that features the Group’s first retail mall there, namely IOI Mall Xiamen, which opened its doors in 2021. Apart from this, the Group acquired a 6.2-acre land in Xiang’an, Xiamen for a mixed residential and commercial development, IOI Palm International Parkhouse, which was launched in 2019.

Mr. Lee Yeow Seng is poised to elevate IOIPG with his unwavering leadership and acute business acumen in delivering excellence across Malaysia, Singapore and Xiamen, PRC.
