Growing up

I grew up in Singapore, the eldest of three in a family where my parents worked seven days a week and everyone pulled their weight. From an early age I learned that effort is just what you do, not something you get credit for.

The athlete

I played softball competitively through school and university, eventually representing Singapore at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. I almost did not make the squad. Got cut, then made it back through a training camp in Japan by deciding I had nothing to lose. My whole family was in the stands.

Sport taught me more about resilience and team dynamics than any classroom did, and that carried into everything that came after.

The early career

My career started in restructuring and insolvency at Borrelli Walsh, where I spent three years working on distressed companies across Southeast Asia. Real work, real stakes, and a lot of learning by doing.

From there I moved into a private equity operator role, then joined a global management consulting firm in Singapore in 2021 as part of the transformation and restructuring practice.

The questions

Somewhere along the way, I started asking harder questions. Not about work, but about what I actually wanted. I got into coaching, first as a client, then trained as a practitioner, earning my ICF accreditation in 2025.

Around the same time, AI started showing up in ways I could not ignore. I am not a developer. I am a finance and accounting trained person who decided to figure it out anyway. I have since built multi-agent systems, automated workflows, and a personal operating system that runs my own thinking. No technical background required. Just clarity and a willingness to start.

Now

I moved to London in 2024. I now lead AI commercial activation globally in consulting. I also coach people navigating transitions, career questions, and the quieter questions about what they want their life to look like.

If any of that resonates, I would love to connect.

One more thing

Since you read this far, you deserve to know. That national record? In 2015, I set the Singapore record for the longest bar slide with a beer can. Here is the proof.
