NagaCorp has appointed Yeap Chee Wan as an independent non-executive director with effect from October 27. The Hong Kong-listed operator of NagaWorld in Phnom Penh also named him to its audit, nomination and remuneration committees.
An Inside Asian Gaming report based on the company filing says Yeap has about 30 years of experience spanning finance, treasury, strategic planning and business transformation. He spent two decades in senior finance roles at Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries in Malaysia and Singapore.
Before that period, Yeap worked in financial planning and analysis at Kraft Foods Malaysia and as an accountant at B. Braun Medical Industries. His earlier career also included equity research, investment analysis and operational roles at Malaysian financial-services firms.
Yeap holds a Master of Finance from RMIT University and a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting from La Trobe University. His initial term runs for one year, with annual remuneration of $73,000 for the directorship and committee responsibilities, and he will be eligible for re-election at NagaCorp's next annual general meeting.
