Kwek, who began her career at Edipresse MediaSingapore in 2005, led the sales team of Singapore Tatler. Edipresse Media Asia executive chairman Michel Lamunière said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Cheah for all the great work that he done since he joined in 2004. Under his leadership, the Tatler brand has grown in strength and remains as the leading luxury-lifestyle media brand in the city. We appreciate his commitment and enthusiasm, and we wish him the very best for his next endeavour.”Cheah said: “After much thought and careful consideration, I have decided to resign and enter a new phase of my professional career. I took the helm of Singapore Tatler in 2004, which was a Monkey Year. And it seems only right that as another Monkey Year approaches, I seek out a new cycle and take on new challenges in life. While I am excited about my future possibilities, I am also sad to be leaving a great team, one which I am very proud of. I’m certain that Singapore Tatler will continue to flourish under the new management.”Marketing has reached out to Cheah for comments on his next career move.
