About

Formerly the Market Head for China at Pictet Wealth Management, based in Singapore. Pictet is an independent, non-listed global wealth and asset manager with over 200 years of history, and has a strong commitment to sustainability and philanthropy. With more than two decades of wealth management experience working in DBS, Citi and UOB, I led teams, advising and taking care of our clients in managing, preserving and transferring their wealth for future generations, and at the same time making a positive impact on society and the environment. My core competencies include strategic planning, business development, client relationship management, customer relationship management (CRM), and business analysis. I am also a lifelong learner, having pursued a Master of Science in Wealth Management from Singapore Management University, and completing executive programs in alternatives, sustainability, impact investing, and philanthropy from The Wharton School and the University of St. Gallen.
