About

I graduated from NIE, spent the first 10 years teaching in primary schools rising rapidly from a teacher to the Head of Department IT & Media resources. 1991, I joined a regional SME, to manage their Educational software arm. I am responsible for the company’s educational sales (regional & institutional ) & setup Education training arms in various regional offices. I left to join a social enterprise for a one year stint in poverty alleviation projects in Laos & Cambodia. I returned and started out in YMCA Sg as part of their Social Entrepreneur outfit. I was in the Childcare & Student care division before coming to A.S. Louken in 2007 as part of the Franchise team. At AS Louken, I specialized in creating franchise systems for local SMEs, Working to streamline clients’ operations as well as helping then identify and protect their IP. As an accredited IP & PMC consultant, I worked closely with IP lawyers to delve into each company’s business practices to identify and look for ways to protect and exploit their IPs. I was also the principal franchise consultant working to broker franchises as well as bringing in brands into Singapore. I head the Equity brokerage division, helping clients expand overseas as well as investment and divestment of their businesses At Oakwood & Drehem Capital, we focus on helping companies grow through investment opportunities. It starts from building the company up internally to raise its value and operational capabilities. From automation to strengthening of operations, new streams of revenue or getting strategic investors. We increase their company valuations through IT projects and investments. We also invest into the companies that we see potential in. EdTech was started as a supporting company that uses technology to solve operational issues and R&D into hardware. But we evolved from helping traditional educational companies , we also help by providing links and network to help the same companies expand overseas. Today, Edtech hold invention patents, partnerships and marketing rights with many companies that it has assisted over the years. At Vaner Trading, I seek out and establish channel partners. Currently always seeking out new suppliers worldwide to bring in products by the container loads for our clients and internal use. It is a interesting new endeavor where I will be building up new sales channels and a new team. At the same time, I am also seeking out and testing out new products we can import into Singapore.
