Ms Ku Geok Boon

Ms Ku is the Chief Executive Officer for the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), the regulatory and developmental agency for the early childhood sector in Singapore. ECDA’s mission of ensuring that every child has access to affordable and quality early childhood development services and programmes harnesses her professional and leadership experience in the education and social service sectors.

Prior to ECDA, she was the founding Chief Executive Officer of SG Enable, the focal agency for disability and inclusion in Singapore, where she led the agency from its inception in July 2013 to December 2024. There, she spearheaded the expansion of SG Enable’s suite of services, ensuring comprehensive support for persons with disabilities and their caregivers.

One of her significant achievements was the establishment of Enabling Village in 2015, an award-winning inclusive community space which has been lauded as a model for inclusion and innovation.

Ms. Ku’s leadership extended beyond the disability sector, as she established strategic partnerships with social service agencies, businesses, institutes of higher learning, and government agencies. Key initiatives such as the Enabling Academy, the Enabling Mark and the Goh Chok Tong Enable Fund and Awards made a meaningful difference for persons with disabilities.

Ms. Ku had also elevated SG Enable’s profile on the international stage, with SG Enable serving as the strategic Asia Pacific partner for Zero Project, a global research-driven initiative to support the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

For her contributions, Ms. Ku was conferred the Public Administration Medal (Silver) at the National Day Awards 2024.
