Asuene Inc. announced that Suet Chee Chiong, Managing Director at Decarbonization Partners, a joint venture between BlackRock and Temasek, will join its board as an Outside Director. The appointment expands the board to five members and follows DP's role as lead investor in Asuene's Series D round in July 2026.
Asuene's board will grow from four members to five, with three outside directors now balancing two inside directors. The company says the new structure supports faster decision-making alongside stronger oversight as it expands overseas and through M&A.
Chiong brings over 20 years of global investment experience, mostly in energy, transportation, logistics, and industrial sectors. At Decarbonization Partners, he oversees sourcing, evaluation, and growth support for portfolio companies. His role at Asuene will focus on overseas business strategy, capital policy, and risk management.
The appointment follows DP's lead investment in Asuene's Series D round completed in July 2026.
