Gojek Singapore, a leading ride-hailing platform, has made significant changes to its top leadership, appointing Janine Teo as its new General Manager. Teo is succeeding Lien Choong Luen, who decided to step down in February after steering the company for seven fruitful years.
Teo is not new to Gojek; she has held multiple operational leadership positions within the company for over seven years. The company is confident in her capabilities to drive its business forward, thanks to her extensive experience. Teo’s main focus will be to continue enhancing Gojek’s platform, ensuring it remains a reliable tool that supports driver-partners and their livelihoods, and delivers dependable services to Singaporean consumers.
Before her recent promotion, Teo held various roles, including Country Lead of Driver Experience and Operations Manager at Uber, where she served from 2017 to 2018. Later, she became the Head of Supply in Singapore at GoTo Group, the technology group overseeing Gojek, starting from 2020.
Reflecting on his tenure, Lien has remarked that he had the privilege of witnessing the maturation of the ride-hailing industry during an especially intense period characterized by increased competition and stricter regulations.
Navigating the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, including supporting drivers amid a sharp decrease in demand, was one of the significant hurdles that the company had to overcome under his leadership.
Lien has shared that he plans to take a sabbatical and dedicate more time to his board roles, serving as the President of Singapore Athletics being one. Additionally, he is exploring fresh opportunities in the technology sector while catching up on the regional developments.
After seven years at the helm of Gojek Singapore, with the business in a robust position, the company believes that it was an opportune moment for Lien to exit the role and follow his personal interests.
