Oceanus Group names Peter Koh Heng Kang as CEO and executive director

He was redesignated from being an independent director to being an executive director.

Oceanus Group announced the appointment of Peter Koh Heng Kang as chief executive officer and executive director.

Mr Koh, 49, will be in charge of the day to day operational matters of the Group, with a special focus on managing China operations.

He was appointed to the board as independent director and a member of the Nominating Committee on 11 October 2013.

Having spent 22 years building a branding company he founded, Pete's Creation International, with offices and factories in Singapore, China, Germany and the United States, he sold his overseas operations four years ago and divided his time between charities and investments.

Prior to his retirement, he was involved in the day-to-day operations and development of his company's four divisions, mainly Media Productions, Interactive, Visual Designs and Merchandising. During this period, Mr Peter Koh expanded the company beyond merely a branding company servicing many International MNCs; such as Standard Chartered Bank, Shell Petroleum, L oreal, Seagate, Starhub, Visa and HBO, just to name a few.

In 1997, he ventured into OEM (original equipment manufacturing) for major retail brands such as Fila, BUM Equipment, Giordano, Hang Ten and Levis amongst others, according to a Oceanus Group report.

In 2005, his company was among the first few selected by Singapore Media Development Authority to produce HD format TV Infotainment Program.
