Ex-GIC Head Joins Fintech Arm of Razer

The fintech arm of gaming hardware manufacturer Razer has appointed the former group president of Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC as an advisory board member.

Lim Siong Guan joins Razer Fintech as an advisory board member as the firm enters its next growth phase to expand regionally and globally.

Lim currently is a professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy; a senior fell at the Singapore Civil Service College; and chairs the board of directors of Swiss Re Asia. Previously, he was the group president of GIC Private Limited from 2007 to 2016 before subsequently acting as its advisor until March 2019.

With Mr. Lim coming on board, we will be able to leverage on his extensive experience and network in the global financial markets to scale up and successfully execute on our strategic roadmap,” said Tan Min-Liang, co-founder and CEO of Razer.

I am a firm believer in Razer Fintech’s strategy and vision of addressing the unmet needs of underserved people, particularly the youth and the millennials who are the future consumers of the world, through technology and product innovation, Lim added.
