2023 Speaker's Profile

Donovan Chee
Head of Marketing & Communications, SEA
Bureau Veritas
Donovan is currently heading Marketing & Communications in the South East Asia region for Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection and certification services.
Garnering nearly 15 years of regional B2B marketing, communications and branding experience with global organisations, Donovan constantly pushes the boundaries as he is on a mission to prove that the “B” in “B2B marketing” doesn’t stand for “boring”. Through “out of the box thinking”, compelling stories and being purpose-driven, he has also made these brands relatable to the man on the street. Having worked across a diverse range of industries (filtration, defence and mining just to name a few), he keeps abreast of the latest business imperatives and leverages his experiences to adopt the best practices.
Normally, Donovan loves to travel, try Michelin-starred restaurants, follows Manchester United religiously and wakes up at 4.30am to hit the gym. However, having 2 daughters now has made him include his bed in that list.
