ABOUT ME
With over 20 years of experience in operations improvement, strategy, and change management. I like to think of myself as a dynamic storyteller, mentor, and change agent with a deep passion for driving meaningful change and delivering real results.
I have had the privilege of working across diverse industries—from nimble start-ups to multinational corporations and even a national oil company—gaining valuable experiences in Southeast Asia, China, and the Middle East. This journey has honed my ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence and lead teams with resilience
Expertise lies in developing relationships that yield tangible outcomes. As the Founder & Managing Director of Programming Advisory, I work with organisations to ‘spark’ their people to embark on a journey of continuous improvement and growth.
A steadfast belief in the transformative power of training and mentorship fuels my passion for simplifying complexities and empowering those around, inspiring their growth and ownership.
I am a Singaporean who have lived and worked in China, Middle East and successfully cultivated business networks across North Asia and South East Asia region.
EXPERTISE & FOCUS AREAS
Now, through Symplavise and Programming Advisory, I provide advisory and facilitation services to organisations looking to help nurture willing and able people that can achieve customer success based on trust. My focus is on building teams that have ownership and thrive on innovation (transform challenges into opportunities) and continuous improvement.
