Timah Partners reposted this
Honored to represent Timah Partners on the cover of The Peak Singapore’s October issue — a thoughtful piece by editor-in-chief Zat Astha that captures why we’re building a talent- and culture-first path to SME continuity. As Zat notes, SME succession has always been about talent, not capital. One of the traits we look for most in great succession leaders is what we call “followership” — the quiet quality that earns trust on the ground, not just in boardrooms. That’s why our CEO Succession Program (CSP) is deliberate and patient: apprenticeship over disruption; stewardship over ownership. 🕯️Succession isn’t a transaction. It’s a founder lending reputation to a new owner who will honor what’s sacred, learn from those who built it, and lift what can be improved without breaking continuity. 🗼The piece also highlights Kelvin Ho, Timah’s first CSP candidate, who — given a range of other, more traditionally prestigious career paths — chose SMEs as the next arena for his life’s work. That choice reflects the kind of cultural shift we hope to inspire, and we hope this piece serves as a lighthouse for similar talent to find their way to us. And to Chester Tan, Fazlie Hashim and the production team at The Peak — thank you for the craft that went into making me look almost unrecognizable. If wardrobe were left to me, the result would’ve been far more 'functional', let’s just say 😅 Cover story here: https://lnkd.in/ebt5FsNv #SMEsuccession #CEOSucesssionProgram #EntrepreneurshipThroughAcquisition #PermanentCapital #HoldCo #FamilyBusiness #SingaporeBusiness
