“I find meaning in contributing to MTIʼs mission and the spirit of Public-Private Partnerships working towards shared goals. Over 8 years across divisions, this purpose has remained constant. Early in COVID-19, we swiftly formed the Flu Pandemic Working Group to coordinate efforts. It was reassuring to see how the resilience plans that we had developed could be adapted quickly in a time of crisis.ˮ

“MTI has given me invaluable opportunities to engage in trade diplomacy and advance Singaporeʼs economic interests with partners like the US. Iʼve also been privileged to experience the dynamism of multilateral trade work, through Singaporeʼs chairmanship of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and the launch of the Future of Investment and Trade Partnership. Itʼs rewarding to contribute towards shaping Singaporeʼs economic future amidst heightened global uncertainty.ˮ
