Thomas Meyer is the new managing director at the Singapore ETH Centre
From March 2022, the Singapore ETH Centre welcomes Thomas Meyer as the new managing director, replacing Mr Thomas Rufener.
Prior to joining the SEC, Thomas Meyer has been working in various countries and domains in Europe and Asia, covering research, start-ups, IT consulting and foreign affairs. Thomas Meyer’s previous roles and job disciplines ranged from software engineering, project management and delivery, sales, business and process consulting up to the level of managing director.
In his capacity as the managing director, Thomas Meyer will oversee the human resources, finance, information technology, communications, operations, and legal and compliance functions at the SEC.
With SEC marking 12 years since its establishment by ETH Zurich and Singapore’s National Research Foundation in 2010, Thomas brings fresh perspectives and new insights to the centre. He will partner with Prof. Gisbert Schneider, director of the SEC, to take the SEC to more expansive horizons.
SEC also extends its gratitude to Mr Thomas Rufener, who stepped down as managing director in early 2022, for his dedication in overseeing the SEC and shepherding it through the unpredictability of the Covid-19 pandemic.
