Scholar, servant, builder.

Kenneth Goh is Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management University. Trained at the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania), Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon — where he completed his doctorate in Organizational Behavior and Theory — his work spans academic research, public policy, and sport governance.

As a Nominated Member of Parliament, Kenneth brings research-grounded perspectives to legislative debates on education, sport, sustainability, and workforce development — contributing as a non-partisan voice committed to evidence-based policy. His parliamentary work has championed a fairer and more vibrant Singapore through sport, arts, entrepreneurship, and social justice.

In sport governance, Kenneth leads as President of Singapore Aquatics and President of Southeast Asia Aquatics, and serves as Vice President of Asia Aquatics. He was a board member of the Local Organising Committee for the World Aquatics Championships Singapore 2025 — the largest international sporting event ever hosted in Singapore. Under his leadership, Singapore Aquatics has deepened its national talent pathways, strengthened coach development frameworks, and expanded community access to aquatic sport across swimming, water polo, artistic swimming, diving, and open water swimming.

His research — published in the Academy of Management Review and Academy of Management Journal — examines how organisations and teams navigate innovation, change, and creative work. This scholarship informs a teaching and advisory practice that reaches executives, family businesses, and policymakers across Asia and beyond.

Across all these roles, a common thread runs: a commitment to building institutions, ecosystems, and communities that outlast any single individual — and to doing so with intellectual rigour, civic purpose, and long-term thinking.
