I am a highly independent and driven professional in the Financial industry with very rich experience in acquiring new clients and providing excellent services to existing clients, with over 10 years of work experience in this field. Outside of work, my family is my priority and sports & fitness is my passion. 

With over 10 years of experience in the Banking & Wealth Management industry, I am a very well-polished Relationship/Account Manager with extensive experience in offering Wealth Advisory services to High Net Worth (HNW) individuals and institutional clients of diverse backgrounds.

Client Relationship Management is my forte and over the years, I have consistently produced strong KPI performance and also accumulated a broad network of clients and professional contacts. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the investment markets and different types of financial products, namely Structured Investments (Derivatives), Unit Trusts & Mutual Funds, Leveraged Portfolios (Investment Financing), Bonds (IPO and Secondary), Equities (IPO and Secondary) and FX related investments. I am also very familiar with other ancillary aspects of Banking & Wealth Management, such as the compliance and transactional related matters.

I have previously worked in three Banks (Standard Chartered, DBS and UOB), an Insurance Company (AXA Life Insurance Singapore) and an External Asset Manager (Noah Holdings Singapore), where I have accumulated much knowledge, skills and network in my dealings with various High Net Worth (HNW) individuals and institutional investors.
