NCS, a subsidiary of the Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) group, announced on Aug 26 that it has created a new enterprise strategic business group (SBG).
The creation of the new SBG will help advance NCS’s growth in the enterprise sector.
“Through a dedicated enterprise SBG and synergies from our core capabilities of applications, infrastructure, engineering, cyber and NEXT services, NCS will be able to better serve our government and enterprise clients,” says Ng Kuo Pin, CEO of NCS.
The new enterprise SBG follows the successful establishment of two other SBGs in 2021, Gov+ and Telco+ that focus on NCS’s growth in the government sector and scale in the telecommunications business.
This development furthers NCS' transformation growth plans to become a regional technology services powerhouse in Asia Pacific.
Following the creation of the new SBG, NCS has appointed industry veteran, Alfred Goh, as its managing partner with effect from Sept 16.

Goh’s most recent role prior to the appointment was as CEO of DHL Supply Chain for Southeast Asia. Before that, he was the president and CEO of DHL Supply Chain Japan and Korea.
He comes with 18 years of global and regional industry expertise in leading B2B enterprise growth, capturing emerging markets and expanding regional growth.
