About me

"Hi there! My path ran through startups, VC, charities, consulting, and now philanthropy. Life meanders, and careers are no different. I co-founded an EdTech company, exited it, then helped establish Singapore's first deep-tech venture-builder as its first local hire, and spent eight years in senior leadership at a youth development charity before moving into consulting and then philanthropy. I started working before I finished studying, and have changed industries more than once. I've hired people, been hired, and sat at tables where hiring and progression decisions were made. Happy to help if you're weighing unconventional options, wondering whether your degree needs to determine your work, or thinking about the social impact and startup sectors."

I'm interested in Arts and Heritage, Business and Enterprise, Digital and Technology, Economy and Finance, Education and Career, Family and Relationships, Global Affairs, Green Environment, Mental Well-being, National Security, Policy, Law and Governance, Social Cohesion, Sports and Physical Well-being and Volunteer and Philanthropy .

I've worked in Social Service and Training and Adult Education.
