Russell Chan

Head of People

I joined OGP in 2019, and have stayed since then because I think it is the government’s best shot today at breaking the mould on trying new ways for government organisations to work better, so that we can be a better public service.

I joined on September 2, 2019 and I am currently the Head of People.

Three things I’ve done recently which I’m proud of are…

Grew the People team from an individual contributor practice to a team of 4 today
Helped to scale OGP from 25 (2019) to >170 (2023)
Worked on organisation design shifts and levers (e.g. compensation schemes, performance management, management practices, resource allocation) to adapt to OGP’s shifting organisation size and context
