Senior Leader
An introvert who first learnt leadership from sports in my youth and life on ships. Got thrust into multiple tours involving security, technology and capability-building. Stretched and scarred from leading organisations through existential doubt, crisis and fundamental change. Big believer in bringing out the best in our people if we are to bring out the best for the service and Singapore.
Background & Key Achievements
Joined the navy, spent some time in naval ops, strategic planning and intel. Retired from the SAF after 24 years and was PS in MCI, MINDEF and MDDI.
How Can I Help
Happy to chat informally over particular issues, offer advice or just to share experiences.
