        "content": "<p>Gojek Singapore has appointed Janine Teo as General Manager,\nreplacing Lien Choong Luen who resigned in February after leading the\ncompany for seven years.<\/p>\n<p>Gojek told The Straits Times that Teo has worked at the company for\nover seven years, holding several operational leadership positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith her extensive experience, we are confident that she can drive\ncontinued growth of this business and strengthen the Gojek platform to\nsupport our driver partners and their livelihoods, whilst delivering\nreliable service to consumers in Singapore,\u201d the company said in a\nstatement on Saturday, 14 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Teo previously served as country lead for driver experience and\noperations manager at Uber from 2017 to 2018. She subsequently became\nhead of supply in Singapore at GoTo Group, the parent technology company\nthat acquired Gojek in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Lien said that during his tenure, he witnessed the ride-hailing\nindustry develop rapidly in a \u201chighly intense\u201d period marked by\nincreased competition and tighter regulation.<\/p>\n<p>He added that one of the greatest challenges the company faced was\nnavigating the COVID-19 pandemic, including supporting drivers amidst a\nsharp decline in demand.<\/p>\n<p>Lien said he plans to take a sabbatical and focus more on his board\nroles, including as president of Singapore Athletics. He also mentioned\nexploring opportunities in the technology sector and monitoring\ndevelopments in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter seven years leading Gojek Singapore and with a strong business\nposition in place, this is the right time for Lien to transition from\nthis role whilst pursuing his personal interests,\u201d Gojek said in its\nofficial statement.<\/p>",
