Ms Kuok Hui Kwong, who is the sixth of Mr Kuok's eight children, has been the company's executive director since June 2016 and its chairwoman since January 2017.

Shangri-La Asia, which is dual listed in Hong Kong and Singapore, said in a bourse filing on July 16 that combining the roles of chairwoman and CEO under Ms Kuok's leadership is expected to enhance "strategic cohesion and operational execution by ensuring a unified and consistent vision across all levels of leadership".
