The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is delighted to welcome Ms Stephanie Yong to the Oceania team as their new Area Director Oceania. 

Based in the Sydney office, Stephanie's appointment will commence officially from 1 December 2017, where she will be succeeding Sharon Lam, who will be departing for no-pay leave prior to returning to the Singapore office.  

Stephanie is no stranger to Australia, having graduated from the University of Wollongong in 1998 with a degree in Commerce and Management Studies. She joined the Singapore Tourism Board in 2000, starting in their Legal department before moving on to the Resource Development division.  

Her experience with the Board's overseas operations began in 2010 when she was appointed Area Director for Central and Southern Europe based out of the Frankfurt office, and was thereafter Area Director for Northern and Western Europe based out of London.  

Stephanie's subsequent return to Singapore was to head the Board's Integrated Resorts department, where she was responsible for the development and account management of both Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa. This entailed working closely with government agencies to formulate and execute policies, with oversight on key areas that impact the success of both integrated resorts.

“I'm really excited to be returning to Australia and joining the Oceania team with managing the Board's promotions in Australia and New Zealand,” she said. “I'd like to build on the good work that the team has been doing, and to continue working with our industry partners, to further entrench Singapore as a must-visit destination for both Aussies and Kiwis.”
