Datuk Johan’s appointment follows the Board leadership transition arising from the retirement of Tan Sri Dato’ Krishnan Tan at IJM’s 42nd Annual General Meeting on 27 August 2026. Datuk Lee Teck Yuen (“Datuk TY Lee”) assumed the Chairmanship at the time, providing continuity in Board leadership while the Board continued its succession process and consideration of the longer-term Chairmanship.

He was Managing Partner and Country Senior Partner of KPMG Malaysia from 2014 to 2024, having previously served as its Head of Audit and an Audit Partner. He was also President of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants from 2013 to 2015 and an Executive Member of Bank Negara Malaysia’s Financial Stability Executive Committee from 2016 to 2018.

He currently serves as Chairman of Maxis Berhad and Non-Executive Chairman of KPMG Malaysia, and is a director of KLCC Property Holdings Berhad and KLCC Real Estate Investment Trust.

Commenting on his appointment, Datuk Johan said: “I am honoured to join the Board of IJM and take on the role of Chairman. IJM has strong businesses, an experienced management team and a clear strategic direction. I look forward to working with my fellow Board members and management to uphold strong governance and oversight as the Group executes its priorities and creates long-term value for its stakeholders.”

Dato’ Lee Chun Fai, Group CEO & Managing Director of IJM, said: “We welcome Datuk Johan to the IJM Board and as our new Chairman. His extensive experience in corporate leadership, governance and financial oversight will bring valuable perspectives to the Board as we continue to execute the Group’s strategic priorities.
