BOARD DIRECTOR
With over 15 years of experience as an Independent Director, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the Boards of various listed, family-controlled, private equity-held, government-linked, growth stage, and non-profit organisations in Australia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore, and the United States. I bring over a decade of experience as a Board Chair, and as Chair or member of various Nominating, Remuneration, and Audit Commitees. I'm honoured to be the only Asia-based individual named to the Financial Times’ Agenda Directory of Top 100 Board Candidates With Pay-Setting Skills.
​
What inspires me to serve?
​
I thrive on the intellectual stimulation that comes from engaging with a diverse set of industries including telecommunications, media, professional services, agriculture, real estate, healthcare, education, the arts, and FinTech / HRTech. I've enjoyed connecting the dots across technology, strategy, human capital, and corporate governance to support each of these organisations on their transformation journeys.
​
I've also come to appreciate the nuances associated with different ownership and corporate structures. Some of these organisations have been publicly listed companies, others private equity-held, or with a majority family stake. I've served on the boards of Temasek / government-linked companies, not-for-profit organisations, start-ups, and social enterprises. In each instance, it is an opportunity to make an impact - on the organisations and their stakeholders.
​
I was the first female Chairperson of the Singapore Institute of Directors, and as someone who has taken a somewhat non-traditional path to directorship, am committed to enhancing diversity - in all its forms - in the boardroom.
