Over the last 15 years, Luke’s career responsibilities have spanned multi-million dollar portfolios in the pharmaceutical industry, working with extremely talented & well trained doctors, pharmacists, and scientists as customers. He has led commercial and multifunctional teams across the Asia Pacific region to commercialise life saving medicines and cancer therapies. A common denominator of his career has been thinking differently, motivating change, and taking ownership to navigate challenges.
Luke’s baseline professional training is in marketing, that he pursued as an adult learner. He attended night classes for 3 years, obtained his BSc, and was the graduate speaker for his cohort. These experience cemented time management, personal goal setting & a constant drive towards success amongst all the competing responsibilities of a full time job.
As part of talent development, Luke was trained at INSEAD where he was given actual business challenges to solve and had to present the final pitch to the board of directors. Another highlight of his professional development was the opportunity to spend time in Wharton Business School in Pennsylvania to get certified in Advanced Marketing. Professional challenges that he faced was being retrenched twice due to organizational structure changes. Each retrenchment that he face reiterated the need for resilience, self re-innovation, and self-leadership. The phrase ‘The Good Thing is….’ was birthed from these challenging life experiences. Luke’s firm belief is that how quickly and how well anyone bounces back from ‘setbacks’ will determine how well they are ‘set up’ for success.
Luke’s professional passion lies with harnessing the power of teams to deliver shareholder value. In all his endeavors, he never ceases to be amazed at the power of the human spirit. As such, Luke coaches his teams on a daily basis to be the best version of themselves and ensure that they build their personal development while building organizational growth.

Not a typical Singaporean, Luke is one of a handful of Singaporean homeschoolers. Coming from a non-mainstream education system has programmed him to get used to being different from everyone else. He learnt to embrace uniqueness. It developed the approach that he has today in life and that is, your destiny is yours to create. Fast forward to today, and he has further developed an innate curiosity in people’s life stories. His personal belief is that the power of outstanding personal performance lies in our unique backgrounds and life journey. As a professional coach, Luke’s passion lies in uncovering the personal uniqueness that would make everyone a high performer, a go-getter in life, and human being who has lived life with no regrets.
When Luke is not working or coaching, you will find him on the golf course, taking a walk, spending time with family or walking his dog. To recharge and reimagine life, he loves getting engrossed in a good book and a glass of wine!
