Founder and Executive Chairman, V3 Group
An industry titan with a global footprint across luxury gourmet, retail and wellness sectors
An intrepid business builder, Ron Sim is the founder and executive chairman of V3 Group Limited, a Singapore-based holding company overseeing a globally diversified portfolio across V3 Brands, V3 Capital and V3 Assets. Starting with a household items trading company in 1979, Sim has transformed the enterprise into a multinational powerhouse spanning well-being, luxury gourmet, real estate, capital markets and integrated healthcare. Today, V3 Group engages over 3 million customers worldwide, supporting a retail footprint of over 5,000 touchpoints across 118 cities and 26 countries.
Sim’s strategic vision centers on building, owning and internationalising premium Singapore-backed consumer brands on the global stage. Under his long-term capital allocation and brand-building stewardship, gourmet label Bacha Coffee executed major international milestones, opening its European flagship on Paris’s Champs-Élysées in April 2025—a landmark 1,500-square-metre, three-storey destination that stands as the brand’s largest outlet—followed by its Japanese debut in Tokyo’s Ginza district in December 2025. Alongside the global trajectory of Bacha Coffee and TWG Tea, Sim oversees a broader portfolio that includes wellness pioneer OSIM, LAC and strategic investments in property, healthcare and capital markets.
Beyond V3 Group, Sim serves as co-vice chairman and non-executive director of Perennial Real Estate Holdings, having previously held directorships at Jumbo Group from 2017 to 2020. Through disciplined capital deployment and international enterprise development, he continues to demonstrate how Singaporean brands can establish a commanding presence in the world’s most competitive markets.

After Osim went public in 2000 and sold over a quarter of its shares in a deal valuing the firm at SG$120 million, the company also filed for Hong Kong IPO in March 2022. Along with TWG Tea’s Taha Bouqdib, the pair have brought Osim and TWG Tea together to form the newly established V3 Gourmet Group, with the intention to invest more than SG$136 million in the next three years to grow and further brands in the F&B and gourmet retail sectors.
