DBS CEO Among 2025 Most Powerful People! Follow the List to Invest?
In the newly released Fortune 2025 “World’s 100 Most Influential Business Leaders” list, two Singapore business figures stood out.
$DBS(D05.SI)$ CEO Ms Tan Su Shan and $Sea Ltd(SE)$ CEO Forrest Li both made their debut.
Tan Su Shan ranked 28th, making her the highest-placed Singaporean business leader, surpassing $BlackRock(BLK)$’s Larry Fink and right behind Warren Buffett. She was also ranked 6th on Fortune’s “World’s Most Powerful Women” list in May, becoming a source of pride for Singapore’s business community. Forrest Li of Sea Group came in at 97th.
When the ranking was first published last year, Helen Wong, the first female head of a Singapore bank and CEO of $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ , was ranked 71st.
It’s worth noting that DBS Group and Sea Group are currently the only two Singaporean companies with a market capitalization exceeding USD 100 billion.

Jensen Huang’s rise to #1 is well-deserved given Nvidia’s role in powering the AI boom. Still, my top pick will remain Elon Musk. Despite controversies, he continues to disrupt multiple industries from EVs to space, proving his influence goes beyond just one sector. Musk’s boldness and ambition still set him apart from many of his peers.
For me, Musk is the most influential leader because of his vision and execution. Lists like this are also useful for investors, as they highlight the leaders and companies shaping the future—and those are often where long-term opportunities lie.

让它沉没吧：一位新加坡女性，领导着东南亚最大的银行，现在与全球金融巨头并肩站在一起。这是对她的影响力、创新和不可动摇的领导力的认可。
谭素珊不仅仅是一名CEO。她是女性力量、韧性和信念的象征。谭素珊证明了新加坡不仅产生了伟大的公司，也产生了世界级的领导者。
对于每一位选择坚定投资星展银行的投资者来说，这是我们的时刻。
对于每一个想知道自己是否能在最高水平上领导的女性来说，谭素珊就是答案。
对于每一个有远大梦想的新加坡人来说，这证明了这是可以实现的。
让我们大胆梦想。

我认为黄仁勋取代马斯克是当之无愧的，他对我来说是第一号人物。马斯克太古怪了，无法提供世界想要的稳定愿景和方向。此外，他似乎很容易因收购X而分心，现在还想建立自己的政党。即使对于他自己的特斯拉来说，他也在许多市场上输给了比亚迪等其他正在崛起的电动汽车公司。
另一方面，詹森的英伟达目前无人能敌。他的芯片在许多国家都有很高的需求，许多行业都需要它们，而不仅仅是人工智能或科技公司。截至目前，没有其他公司制造出比他更好的芯片。
但是，我不会按照清单去投资。我需要多元化来管理我的风险，也许ETF是最简单的。
4. Continuous learning and improvement:
Musk prioritizes learning from his mistakes and uses that knowledge to enhance his ventures. This mindset has enabled him to navigate complex challenges.
5. Visionary thinking:
Musk's long-term vision for his companies and the world drives his resilience. He's willing to endure short-term setbacks for long-term success.

埃隆·馬斯克的影響力：
1.有遠見的思維
Musk在概念化和推動SpaceX和特斯拉Autopilot等項目方面的能力非常出色。
2.創新冒險
埃隆在多個行業突破了界限，激勵了新一代的企業家和創新者。
3.人工智能的進步
馬斯克的xAI在人工智能開發方面取得了重大進展，推出了巨像超級計算機等項目。
至於最有影響力的商業領袖，這是主觀的，取決於個人的觀點。黃仁勳和Elon Musk都對各自的行業和世界產生了重大影響。

Deep dive:
Tan Su Shan, DBS CEO
Stood out for her outstanding leadership and vision in driving DBS's success and digital transformation.
Helen Wong, OCBC CEO
Featured on Fortune's 100 Most Powerful Women list last year, demonstrating her influence and impact on the banking industry.
If these 2 CEOs do make the list one day, their recognition would highlight the significant contributions of Singaporean banking leaders in the global financial landscape. This shows that their influence has the ability to extend beyond Singapore, shaping the future of banking and finance worldwide.

Jensen Huang deserves the #1 spot due to NVIDIA's rapid growth and AI leadership while Elon Musk faces more competition and challenges
Jensen Huang is currently seen as the most influential due to NVIDIA’s AI dominance but other tech leaders are also highly influential 。。。
The list offers trend ideas but does not serve as investment advice so always analyze finances and personal factors before investing

1. Perseverance in the face of failure: Musk has experienced multiple rocket launch failures with SpaceX and production issues with Tesla,but he hasn't let these setbacks deter him. Instead,he uses them as opportunities to learn and improve.
2. Risk-taking and adaptability:
Musk is known for taking calculated risks,often investing his own money in ventures that others might deem impossible.He's also shown adaptability in pivoting his companies when necessary.
3. Focus on innovation and disruption: Musk's drive to revolutionize industries has led to groundbreaking achievements in electric vehicles, space exploration,and more.His companies, like Tesla and SpaceX, continue to push boundaries.
去年該排名首次公佈時，海倫·黃、新加坡銀行首位女性行長、新加坡銀行首席執行官$華僑銀行(O39.SI)$，排名第71位。
至于黄仁勋取代马斯克登顶，我认为是实至名归。马斯克的愿景确实宏大，但特斯拉的成长放缓，加上他频频的个人言行争议，影响了市场对他的信任。相反，黄仁勋掌握了AI产业的“水龙头”——算力芯片，这是整个行业的基石，他的影响力已不只是带动一家公司，而是牵动全球科技发展节奏。
在我心中，最有影响力的领袖是微软的Satya Nadella。他让微软从一个“旧巨头”焕发新生，在云计算与AI上走在前列，更难得的是，他重塑了公司文化，让微软变得开放而高效。
至于投资，榜单可以作为风向标，却不能照单全收。它提示我们趋势在哪里，但投资要结合估值、周期与自身风险承受度，不能盲目追随。
