Leading Asia: Loh Chin Hua on Keppel’s plan for sustainable growth

Across Asia, founder-led companies create outsized value compared with professional CEOs. Is this edge something founders are born with or something they build? In this episode, host Jennifer Chiang speaks with Cheryl Lim, a McKinsey partner based in the Kuala Lumpur office and co-author of Shapers and Founders: The Untold Stories of Asia’s Extraordinary Owner-CEOs.

Drawing on interviews with founders across the region, Lim reflects on the traits that recur regardless of industry or background: curiosity, a commitment to relationship-building, and the ability to hold a big-picture vision and daily execution in mind at once. 

Shapers and Founders: The Untold Stories of Asia’s Extraordinary Owner-CEOs reveals the leadership strategies behind Asia’s highest-performing entrepreneur-led companies. Deriving insights from hours of interviews and rigorous empirical research, this book reveals the core behaviors and governing mindsets that have powered Asia’s rise.

From healthcare to health: Asia’s longevity opportunity

Global spending on climate adaptation is running at roughly a third of what protecting everyone exposed today would require. At 2°C of warming, the gap widens further still. The economic case for closing it is strong, and yet investment remains far short of what the science demands

In this episode, host Debbi Cheong speaks with Mekala Krishnan, co-author of McKinsey Global Institute’s Advancing Adaptation report, and Yuito Yamada, Senior Partner at McKinsey. Together they examine where the adaptation gap is largest, why heat and drought account for more than three quarters of spending needs, and how Asia sits at the centre of the challenge.

The return on adaptation investment is clear: the spend on resilience today returns roughly three times its cost in avoided damage, rising to seven as hazards worsen. The long-term value is clear, so what will it take to translate that case into action at the scale the problem demands?
