Oceanus Group Limited announced that it has appointed Mr. Sammul Lin as Group Chief Operating Officer, as part of the Group's plan to further enhance its senior management team. As Group Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Lin, 40, will oversee and manage the day-to-day operational functions of the Group, which include developing, establishing and implementing the Group's operating policies and business plans. He will report directly to Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Peter HK Koh, PBM.

Mr. Lin was previously Director of Distribution, a role he assumed since January 2020. He oversaw the Group's distribution business pillar and played a pivotal role in its expansion. Under his tenure as the head of Distribution, he has vastly expanded Oceanus' portfolio of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), which now includes frozen meat, food commodities and agricultural products.

His latest accomplishments include the establishment of subsidiary Sino Food Group Pte Ltd. in 2021, which became an approved distributor for China Resources Wufeng, a member of state-owned enterprise China Resources. Oceanus will be supported by a strong management team as the Group focuses on harnessing cross-pillar synergy across its business portfolio spanning Food Production, Distribution, Services, and Innovation for growth. Ms Shero Dong will be appointed to take over Mr. Lin's previous role as Director, Distribution.

She was an integral part of the team that successfully expanded the Group's distribution segment. Last year, she played a pivotal role in securing the distribution rights for a globally esteemed Australian wine producer for the Chinese market, which propelled Season Global to be one of the large liquor exporters to China. The Group has two other new appointments in 2022.

Mr. Nick Tan will lead the Immersive Media division under the Services pillar. Mr. Tan was instrumental in consolidating the Group's multi-media and marketing brands under Oceanus Media Global. Mr. Adrian Teo will spearhead the Group's vision to accelerate its "tech-up" operations within the Digital Business division under the Innovation pillar.

Before Mr. Teo joined Oceanus, he was Chief Operating Officer at a Singapore-based company that focuses on digitalising the agrifood supply chain.
