• I am currently a Vice President at the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), leading a team that is spearheading corporate innovation and venture building in Singapore. I have had the privilege to be at the front seat of shaping Singapore’s economy across my 14-year career, having led teams to conceptualise and implement strategies and initiatives across the Aerospace, Commodities and International Non-profit sectors.
• Always curious and a penchant for taking the path less travelled, I was the first female Centre Director based at EDB’s Mumbai office for 3 years, overseeing Singapore’s foreign investment strategy. As part of my professional growth, I have also been seconded to a mobility technology start-up where I helped to secure their Series A fundraising round and subsequently to Temasek, overseeing investments in alternative proteins and agri-tech.
• I am a mathematics major from NUS (but sigh.. never had the opportunity to apply the formulas and equations i learnt in school) and a Sloan fellow with a Masters of Science in Management from Stanford University.

• Personal development coaching
• Career & Performance coaching

Born and bred in Singapore, I embody a well-tossed Rojak (local salad dish) persona, drawing from my Singaporean upbringing, books I read as well as time spent in China, India and the US. On one hand, I am a wannabe farmer, traveller and nary a care in the world curious reader and wonderer in my personal time and yet, a passionate, go-getting, outcomes-based leader at work.

What anchors me as a person is my mindfulness practice and the desire to bring a tiny bit more of positive impact and happiness to the people around me and this world. I have been practicing mindfulness / meditation for more than 8 years now. I am also passionate about ground-up initiatives and volunteering, whether its teaching at the local slum school on weekends when I was in India, volunteering with the Lions Befrienders in Singapore or kickstarting a pay-it-forward community project with a few friends in the midst of the Circuit Breaker last year that onboarded 184 food stalls and sponsored 7000 meals in 3 months.
