Bio Summary

I uphold the belief that all businesses can and should be a force for good, and it begins by empowering individuals to live in alignment with their purposes. It is my desire to unleash the potential of individuals and organizations in building purposeful businesses or projects within my capacity and with the experiences and skills that I have gained through my life's journey.

My formative years in Singapore have endowed me with resilience and a presence of mind to view all obstacles, new and unencountered, as opportunities. I have gained valuable business insights from my consulting experience for high-value companies that extended across retail banking, smart-cards technology, health care, and industrial automation sectors. Rising through the ranks from a market research analyst to a senior director in strategy consulting, I have consistently shown an apt ability to apply learned skills swiftly.

Organizations will benefit from my perceptive business management skills garnered from over 15 years of consulting experience and my entrepreneurial journey as a business founder of a fashion label. Besides having a keen eye on functional strategies for companies, I am also a passionate shaper of thoughts; my cultural dexterity, linguistic ability, and disciplined nature were traits that assured me of high buy-ins from stakeholders.

I thrive well in an entrepreneurial environment and love new challenges that allow me to contribute my insights and experience through strategic management, corporate training, or executive coaching.
