Therme Group has appointed Tan Boon Khai as CEO of Therme Group Singapore, tasking the veteran leader with steering the development of Therme Singapore – a S$1 billion, state-of-the-art wellbeing precinct scheduled to open in Singapore in 2030.
With more than 30 years of experience in both the public and private sectors in Singapore, Tan will lead the development of Therme Singapore, Asia’s first next-generation urban wellbeing destination at Marina South, as part of Therme Group’s global expansion in the fast-growing wellness space.
Prior to joining Therme Group, Tan was the CEO of JTC Corporation, where he spearheaded numerous transformations across Singapore’s industrial landscape. Previously, he served as chief executive of the Singapore Land Authority and as senior vice president at CapitaLand, and as regional general manager for Singapore and Malaysia at Ascott Limited, the world’s largest serviced residence operator. A lawyer by training, Boon Khai began his career as a Justice’s Law Clerk and has held various portfolios as a lawyer in the private sector and with the government.
Dr Robert Hanea, founder and CEO of Therme Group, said Tan’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the company’s international growth. “Boon Khai brings a proven track record in development, management and hospitality,” he said. “We are delighted to have him lead the next evolution of Therme’s social wellness experience in Singapore, as we bring accessible wellbeing to both locals and visitors across the region.”
As Therme Group’s first Asian development, Therme Singapore is located on a four-hectare waterfront site at Marina South, adjacent to Marina Barrage and Gardens by the Bay.
