The wife of Singapore premier Lee Hsien Loong has served as CEO of Temasek, the country's $135 billion sovereign wealth fund, since 2004.

Following Goodyear's departure, Temasek announced it was launching a new executive search, but in July of this year, Ho said she would be staying. This summer Temasek hired and promoted several high-level executives to support Ho, including Gregory Curl, a one-time candidate for the CEO job at Bank of America. Speculation continues as to whether Ho will remain CEO. Link
