Head of Content, Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN)

As the lead of the Content function within Elevandi, I help convene global thought leaders from the world of financial services at our platforms like the Singapore Fintech Festival and the Point Zero Forum.

Previously, I was a Corporate Venture Builder on a mission to identify problems, solve them and scale these solutions. I built Blacksmith - a KYC Venture at the ING Innovation Lab at Singapore. Blacksmith was acquired by Encompass Corporation.

Prior to joining ING, I was a Manager at Rainmaking Innovation's Singapore office, focused on Corporate Innovation and Venture Building. I worked with corporates to establish their innovation strategy and implement this vision via stage-gated ventures built utilizing lean design thinking techniques. I founded Tablepointer: an AI solution focused on energy efficiency for the F&B industry. Rainmaking APAC Venture Studio was acquired by Bain & Company.

Before joining Rainmaking, I was a Business Consultant focused on Portfolio Management Platforms at Private Banks including Standard Chartered, ABN AMRO, UOB and BPI. I graduated with First Class Honors from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as an Aerospace Engineer with a minor in Business.
