SBR: What are your previous experiences and positions held that contributed to who you are as an entrepreneur today?
I worked my way up and it is quite audacious of me to change career paths. My working experience is quite diverse. After graduating with a diploma in accountancy from Ngee Ann, I went to do events in Republic Poly for Open House, PM Visit, Clean and Green Initiatives etc. After a year, I went to university and worked in Ducktours, relief teaching, tuition and toy shop etc. I was also with two startups dealing with music, mobile advertising etc. 

After university, I took on jobs in banking and real estate, where i picked up knowledge and skills in business development, sales, and finance. Then I started my business with clients in finance and e-commerce. 

I would like to be in the marketing arena but I did not study marketing. After my startup, I worked in SME companies where I grew my network in the startup space, co-working, bitcoin, makers etc. A few of my friends own restaurants and hence I started my food blog and gained understanding of the F&B industry.

I am a self-taught digital marketer. I worked in a PR company and also in a digital marketing agency, where I was in direct liaison with Google and vested time in digital marketing training.

Other positions held: 
UOB - Personal Banker
Courier Man - Managing Director
Happy Marketer - Associate Consultant
ZenRooms - Digital Marketer, APAC (Current)

SBR: What are your key business philosophies?
- Reliable (Honest, working hard, ensure your word is translated to action)
- Excellence (Attention to details, Doing the extra mile)
- Swift (Timely completion)
- Friendly (Open mind, Approachable, Networking)

SBR: Can you give us a glimpse of what you will talk about at the SBR Industry Insights Series?
I will share my insights on the digital marketing aspects of the hospitality industry: Social Media, Paid Media, Inbound Marketing, UI/UX, etc.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
