The former Singapore Armed Forces senior officer, who has been with the unit of transport group ComfortDelGro for 11 years, will serve out his notice.

Prof Lim Seh Chun, an SBS Transit director, told ST, “I’m very surprised by his resignation. I work closely with him. We’re going to lose a good CEO.”

Before joining SBS Transit, Gan was working in the Ascott Group, CapitaLand, Times Publishing and General Electric, according to his profile on the ComfortDelGro website

Beginning his career in the SAF, Gan held several senior command and staff appointments.

Gan, who was a President’s Scholar and an SAF (UK) Scholar, holds a Bachelor of Arts (Engineering Tripos) from the University of Cambridge.
