Goh Chye Boon joined Government Investment Corporation Singapore (GIC) in late 2011 and is now heading GIC’s China Business Partnership unit in China as part of GIC Singapore HQ’s effort to synergise and integrate the investments made in China by its different subsidiaries and to cultivate and engage Chinese agencies and enterprises to build longer term relationships and investment opportunities. GIC manages the financial reserves of the Singapore Government.
From 2010 to 2011, he was the Managing Director of Sembawang Engineering & Construction (SEC) Pte Ltd, in charge of their Singapore and international real estate development.

From 2007 to 2010, Mr Goh was the Chief Executive Officer of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment & Development Co Ltd while he was still an Administrative Service officer with the Singapore Civil Service. As a flagship project between the PRC and Singapore Governments, the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City is envisioned to create a harmonious and sustainable community that meets the needs of an urbanizing China. Strategically located within the fast-growing Tianjin Binhai New Area and only 40 km away from Tianjin Municipal, the 30 sq km Tianjin Eco-City will be a modern township where 350, 000 residents can live, work and play. Mr Goh successfully brought in Asia's leading eco-developers to develop the Tianjin Eco-City, signing on more than RMB 40 billion worth of development projects with international developers. He has also brought in RMB 2.4 billion worth of investments from top companies to create job opportunities, and draw in new talent and residents to the Tianjin Eco-City.
Concurrent to his appointment, Mr Goh was also appointed Deputy Secretary (Special Projects) for the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) on 1 June 2008. As DS (Special Projects), he oversaw the organisation of the inaugural Formula ONE night race that was held in Singapore in September 2008. He was also on the board of the Economic Development Board until early 2012 after serving a total of 7 years of service.
Prior to this, Mr Goh was the Deputy Secretary (Industry) of MTI, and was responsible for formulating policies to facilitate the development of Singapore’s industry sectors and enterprises including energy and tourism sectors.
Before joining MTI, Mr Goh was the Executive Director of External Department at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, where he co-chaired the Organising Committee for the 2006 IMF-World Bank Group of Governors Annual Meetings when it was held in Singapore.
