Piyush Gupta to Succeed Danny Teoh as Keppel Chairman on April 17

The planned handover signals continuity for Keppel’s asset‑light pivot following a 29% FY2025 profit rise.

Overview

  • Gupta will become non-executive chairman and an independent director immediately after Keppel’s AGM on Apr 17.
  • Teoh will retire after more than 15 years on the board and nearly five years as chairman, leaving a board of eight with seven independent directors.
  • Gupta has served as deputy chairman and a non-executive independent director since July 2025 and will remain on the nominating, remuneration, and board sustainability and safety committees.
  • Keppel frames the succession as a continuation of its transformation into a global asset manager and operator after divesting its offshore and marine business.
  • Alongside the announcement, Keppel reported FY2025 profit from continuing operations of S$1.02 billion, up 29% year on year on stronger segment performance and higher recurring income.
