WEE TENG WEN

Managing Partner, The Lo & Behold Group

Since 2005, The Lo & Behold Group has conceptualised some of the
most distinct and notable hospitality concepts that anchor the Singapore
landscape. Wee Teng Wen’s first venture into the industry was with rooftop
bar, Loof. A diverse portfolio of 20 venues have ensued since, ranging from a
beach club on Sentosa Island, to a 3 Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant,
and an award-winning boutique hotel nestled on the banks of the Singapore
River. In the pursuit of enhancing the local hospitality landscape and making
Singapore a more lovable place, Teng continues to lead the development of
world-class destinations to shape the Singapore landscape, each concept a
timeless institution with its own story to tell and a space to be brought to life.

Overseeing the strategic and business end of the group’s operations, he
remains involved in the conceptualisation and branding of every concept,
developing with painstaking attention to detail and unparalleled sensitivity
to space and design, unique programming and genuine hospitality. It is this
holistic approach that allows the group to continue growing its portfolio of some
of Singapore’s most beloved and award-winning destinations. The group
has been nominated for, and has won several Singapore Tourism Awards,
the industry’s highest accolade, and a President’s Design Award. Teng was
also awarded the prestigious title of Outstanding Tourism Entrepreneur.

Teng’s philosophy for success is to employ a staff-centric approach in the
organization. He strongly believes that it is people who fulfill the experiences
of each venue, and strives to attract and retain the best talent in the
industry. The Lo & Behold Group is one of the few companies under the
Ministry of Manpower’s Human Capital Partnership, which recognizes their
commitment to career development and lifelong learning for employees.

Prior to co-founding The Lo & Behold Group, Teng worked as a management
consultant at Monitor Group in Boston. Teng graduated with honors from
the University of Pennsylvania with a major in management, finance and
a minor in psychology. He is also a member of the Young President’s
Organization, a global peer network of chief executives and business leaders.
