Fugro’s Board of Management has appointed Luh Shyang Loo as Group Director for the Asia Pacific region and member of the Executive Leadership Team. Loo will take over responsibility for the region as from 1 October 2024.

Loo has been an integral part of the Fugro family for over 25 years, taking on various key roles within the organisation. His journey began as an offshore surveyor, after which his skill and strong leadership propelled him through the ranks. Between 2007 and 2009, he served as a project manager in the Netherlands, swiftly advancing to Regional Manager, then Managing Director, and ultimately being promoted to Director for Northeast Asia.

Loo holds a Bachelor’s degree in Land Surveying from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Master of Business Administration degree from the Open University of Malaysia.

Mark Heine, CEO of Fugro: 
“Loo’s extensive experience within Fugro, coupled with his deep understanding of the region, make him the ideal leader to guide our Asia Pacific operations. His commitment to excellence and strategic vision have been instrumental in our recent growth and success.”

Luh Shyang Loo: 
“I am delighted to take on the responsibility for the Asia Pacific region for Fugro and contribute to Fugro’s further growth. I look forward to having an active role with our solutions for the energy transition, infrastructure and climate resilience, together with our strong team, in the ongoing transformation of this vibrant region.”

Loo succeeds Amar Umap, who has decided to leave Fugro to spend more time caring for his family.
