I am a confident person who believes in giving the best, whether at work or in my personal life. My diverse background and knowledge makes me an ideal executive.
Your greatest career achievement? Forgoing a career in an MNC for a
full scholarship for my masters program at Stanford University, USA.
Studying with the top students from all over the world at one of the best
universities was a priceless experience. It helped me in knowledge
enrichment, as well as valuable cross-cultural experience.
Most inspiring corporate hero? The fictional character Jerry Maguire
from the movie. What I like the most about him is the confidence and the
self-belief he showed under stress. Even after losing the job, he didn’t give
up and started his own company with just one client. I personally like the
scene “Show me the money”, which summarises the corporate world.
The best career advice given? “Anyone can row a boat when the river
is calm, what makes one different is the ability to steer the boat
smoothly to the destination when the river is turbulent”. I always keep
this at the back of my mind and this gives me courage to do better
while facing difficulties. I take the difficulties as challenges and try to
give my best to bring the things back to normal and
achieve the target even under unfavourable
situations.
Greatest challenge in your life? Choosing
between being financially independent with an
MNC or studying at Standford University. After
alot of thinking, I decided to go for higher
studies as it was going to help me in the longer
run. I am happy with my decision.
Favourite hobbies/interests? I like travelling and
exploring new places. I have a group of friends form
different nations. Every year we visit one country and
try to explore more of its culture and history with our native friend. I may not look like it but I love salsa dancing.
Why should you win? I am a confident person who believes in giving the best, whether at work or in my personal life. My diverse
background and knowledge makes me an ideal executive.
3 words that sum you up? Unflappable, confident and adaptable.
Your greatest career achievement?
Seizing the opportunity to work in both
Hong Kong and Sydney under the age of 23.
Most inspiring corporate hero? I am very
inspired by Mark Zuckerberg, founder of
Facebook. He has single-handedly (almost)
revolutionised how we communicate and he
represents the spirit of believing in an idea
even when everyone else is oblivious to it.
As I am in the industry of news and
information, I am motivated to think of
ideas on both career and personal levels and
Mark Zuckerberg is a reminder that no one
can impose onto you the boundaries to what
you can achieve.
The best career advice given? Don’t
underestimate the task you are about to
undertake so that you will always exceed
expectations.
Greatest challenge in your life? It
always seems that life’s challenges seem
to shrink when pondered in retrospect! I
remember I had to constantly battle with
myself to believe in my own abilities
and strengths. The belief that I could
not ‘make it’ in life simply because I
wasn’t the ‘academic type’ was deeply
ingrained in me. So my greatest
challenge was truly believing in my
choices in life. Believing that sometimes
going against the flow can be a good
thing; even when everyone disapproves
and you are alone in your choices.
However, with every mountain
conquered, there’ll always be the need
for another higher mountain to challenge
it. So I would say my biggest challenge
right now is juggling work, family, love, studies, friends and my own needs.
Favourite hobbies/interests? I always try to do as much as I can outside of work. I practise Bikram Yoga (Hot Yoga) to
help me renew my mind and body. Because I used to act in plays and films, I am always seeking good films and music. I
would also gladly ice-skate with a couple of friends, dabble in some amateur DJ-ing, rock climb with friends, salsa the
night away… anything that I can have a good time with!
Why should you win? This competition is really about who you are. I think I am able to live and breathe the tag,
“Shine beyond your
office walls”. Apart
from what I do, I
want to show
readers that not
everyone needs to fit into the typical ‘mould’ to have a happy life that is successful
in your own right. Who says you need to be old enough to understand certain
things, or have a degree to understand business? Do you need to strive for the
traditional professions that are ‘highly regarded’? Life is about more than being
good at your work, it’s also about being an enjoyable person to be around, giving
back to community, living life to the fullest, and I think I embody this belief.
3 words that sum you up? Fervent, sincere and interested.
