I started my career in the F&B industry. In my first management position in the operations department, I had the opportunity during that time to train, mentor and coach at a restaurant, bar, outdoor alfresco, event spaces and even a European brasserie. By juggling schedules and people, I enjoyed managing all the moving parts such as successful corporate events for Singapore Tourism Board, Porsche, FHM, Formula 1 and Miss Universe Singapore. Being a people developer, my encouragement helps others learn, grow and improve. Whether it is to train an unranked team that won the top seeded team in our table during my time as Head Coach of Anglo Chinese Junior College or as a teacher at the Ministry of Education, for almost five years those were the formative years in terms of shaping me as a coach and trainer today. Coming from a varied business background gave me the exposure in terms of even various industry research that help me experience top level acquisition analysis such as during my time as Investment Director at Synthesis Development Team. By being a keen learner, I naturally pick up and absorb information quickly and challenge myself to continually learn more to keep me on top of my game. Growing the current client base by relationship building during my time as Managing Director of a tech start-up was not a straightforward task however it was fundamentally important to how we can continue to develop the rapport and trust with clients. I love to build relationships that are authentic and long-lasting; to foster those kinds of connections that can withstand long periods of time.
