Singapore

Summary

Equipped with a wealth of experience across industries and scope of work, I am a business minded Finance Manager who has made improvements in varying degrees to work processes at most of my past employments.


During the pandemic, I seized a rare overseas opportunity offered by a Cambodian company owned by Chinese nationals. My leadership, multi-tasking and superior professional skills have been instrumental in clinching two promotions and finally a transfer to the Group’s newly launched division.


I came back to Singapore in 2023 to resume my career in my profession at my current employer where I cleared months of backlog and established sound internal controls and work processes. However, my desire for long term stability leads me to seek a new challenge where my proven versatility, resourcefulness and resilience will be instrumental towards your organization's continued success.
