IDA International has appointed Mr Vincent Wong Wah Kit as its new Chief Executive Officer. Mr Wong will drive IDA International’s charter to export Singapore’s infocomm solutions to help public agencies across the world deliver socio-economic outcomes enabled through public service infocomm.

Mr Wong, a 24–year veteran of the management consulting and ICT industries, assumed the position on 10 December 2012 and joined from Accenture, where he was Partner in charge of delivering Accenture’s Health and Public Service technology business in ASEAN. In that role, he had worked closely with clients from the Singapore government and ASEAN countries and directed large transformation, systems implementation and maintenance programmes.

Chairman of IDA International Mr Asad Jumabhoy said, “The Board considered several candidates from the industry and those with public sector experience. Mr Wong brings with him the best of both worlds: commercial experience in the public service domain, which is extremely suitable to the nature of IDA International’s work.”

The Board of Directors of IDA International expresses its deep appreciation to Mr Seah for his instrumental role in the formation of IDA International and presiding over its early years.
