President & CEO
Rochman Goswami leads Elebrium Energy with the mindset of a business visionary who has spent the last decade running full P&L centers and turning complex capital project portfolios into predictable, value‑creating enterprises. He approaches asset development the way a strategist approaches a market, balancing risk, return, and long‑term value with the same calm focus he brings to a long par‑5.
A global leader across energy, materials, and infrastructure, Rochman has delivered multi‑billion‑dollar assets, reshaped execution models, and guided organizations through transformation across North America, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, and South Asia. His expertise spans asset development, commercial strategy, EPC/EPCM contracting, and risk frameworks that protect capital while enabling growth.
What defines him is a blend of commercial discipline, execution rigor, and people‑first leadership. He believes great businesses—and great projects—are built on trust, clarity, and shared purpose as much as engineering and contracts.
Outside the boardroom, Rochman is a golfer, global traveler, and occasional philosopher, often all at once. And through every journey and every ambition, his true north remains constant: his wife and life partner, Monisha, the center of every milestone and every adventure.
Executive Advisor
Dr. Hoe Wai Cheong is a seasoned global executive with nearly four decades of experience across energy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and infrastructure sectors. Dr. Cheong blends strategic foresight with operational precision. As former President for Asia Pacific & India at Black & Veatch, he steered US$500M in annual business, delivered gigawatts of power and renewables, and helped shape the firm’s global decarbonization agenda.
With a global career, his earlier leadership roles with Aker Kvaerner, GlaxoWellcome, and ExxonMobil saw him drive major capital projects across Asia’s industrial landscape. Known for integrity, cross‑cultural fluency, and a knack for turning complexity into progress, he remains a respected voice in sustainable asset development and regional growth.
Outside the boardroom, Dr. Cheong is the dining companion everyone wants—an adventurous gastronome who always knows what to order. He’s also a devoted golfer and angler, forever analyzing swing mechanics and lure action. His happiest moments, though, are with his grandson in Australia, whose boundless curiosity keeps him young.
He holds a PhD and BSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Aston (UK), is a Fellow of IChemE, a Chartered Engineer, and is fluent in five languages.

His work centers on the development of large-scale energy and chemical complexes that reform natural gas into hydrogen and derivative products, while capturing and recycling or geologically storing CO₂. His leadership has helped position KeyState as a model for integrated decarbonization and regional economic revitalization.
Mr. Babb’s career is distinguished not only by commercial success but by deep community engagement. His decades of experience in strategic communications and stakeholder alignment have earned him broad support from government officials, educators, labor organizations, and civic leaders.
