Lee Chee Koon

Lee Chee Koon is the Group CEO of CapitaLand Investment (CLI), a position he has held since the company’s listing on the Singapore Exchange in September 2021. CLI is a leading global real asset manager with a portfolio that includes stakes in eight listed real estate investment trusts and business trusts and a suite of thematic private vehicles that invest in mega trends.

Prior to his current appointment, Lee was the President and Group CEO of CapitaLand Group (CapitaLand) from 2018 to 2021.

During his tenure as Group CEO of CapitaLand, Lee led the strategic merger between the company and Ascendas-Singbridge in 2019. This merger bolstered CapitaLand's presence in the business park, industrial and logistics segments, and significantly expanded its footprint in China and India as well as its fund management and lodging management platforms. It also made CapitaLand one of the largest diversified real estate companies in Asia and laid the groundwork for its subsequent corporate restructuring in 2021 that created CLI.

Today, CLI’s diversified real asset classes include retail, office, lodging, industrial, logistics, business parks, wellness, self-storage, data centres, private credit and special opportunities.

Lee joined CapitaLand in 2007 and held several appointments within the Group, including CEO of The Ascott Limited (Ascott) and Group Chief Investment Officer of CapitaLand, before becoming CapitaLand's President and Group CEO. He is also an executive non-independent director of CapitaLand Group and a director for CapitaLand Hope Foundation.

Lee was honoured as Industry Figure of the Year – Asia Pacific at the PERE Global Awards 2024.

Lee holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the National University of Singapore. He also holds a Master of Science degree in Advanced Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London, United Kingdom.
