Singapore, Singapore
A self-starter and trusted business partner with proven ability to apply Risk & Compliance principles across different business areas (biopharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices sales & distribution, real estate & facilities management). Having an understanding of and appreciation for how innovations can thrive within an organization, my passion is to enable business and innovations by ensuring that risks are managed and compliance requirements are met in balanced and responsible ways. This shaped my approach towards handling challenges which is focused on finding win-win solutions for the business. I always seek first to understand the business activities and ambitions, in order to contextualize/ translate requirements in a fit-for-purpose manner, and working with people on the ground to devise practical solutions. Having held global, regional and local roles in multi-national companies over the past 20 years, has inculcated within me the ability to think globally and act locally, proactively break down barriers & silos to collaborate cross-functionally and with the empathy to work with people of diverse culture and backgrounds. Always ready to pivot & improve, I believe that all my experiences are enablers for me to do more.
