Mr Oon Jin Teik was named chief executive officer of the Singapore Sports Hub last month, after acting in that role since May last year. He has been involved in Singapore sports at all levels - as a national swimmer, CEO of the former Singapore Sports Council, secretary-general of the Singapore Swimming Association, and now at the helm of the $1.3 billion sports and lifestyle hub.
