Warm wishes for a bright and prosperous new year! As we step into 2025, I am writing to inform you of a change in leadership and transition in TÜV SÜD ASEAN. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Richard Hong will be transitioning to a new role in the company as Executive Vice President, TÜV SÜD ASMEA.

I am excited to announce that Mr. Jonas Strahberger will be stepping into the role of CEO, TÜV SÜD ASEAN with effect from 15 January 2025. With a background in international management and leadership, Jonas brings extensive experience in developing and implementing new, sustainable ways to drive transformation in the Testing, Inspection and Certification sector. Jonas has been leading the global Business Vertical Lifts, Cranes & Conveyors (LCC), Real Estate & Infrastructure Division, TÜV SÜD, where he spearheaded strategic initiatives, fostered international partnerships, and drove digital transformation and operational excellence for over 19 countries worldwide.

Jonas holds a Master of Science in Management and Technology from the Technical University of Munich. Previously based in Munich, Germany, Jonas will be relocating to Singapore for his new role. I am confident that under Jonas’ leadership, we will continue to work alongside our customers and partners to drive commercial success and growth in ASEAN.
