Summary

I am always up for a challenge and keen to grow business activities globally. Having worked from the bottom up as an account executive making cold calls to managing a team with experience in end-to-end business activities, I understand what it takes and what needs to be done to be a successful “Business Woman”. As a Singaporean and having lived in Amsterdam and Nairobi, these experiences have shaped me into a conscious, responsive global professional. I’ve been allowed to pit my skills against a diverse group of professionals and within complex political landscapes. In June 2022, I joined TotalEnergies as Sales Manager, Singapore in the renewable energy business. I have achieved the targets and grown the portfolio and brand value. My experience with the distributed generation team has enabled me to further develop my skills in the energy sector, and to enlarge my role as a country coordinator since January 2023 – bridging commercial, technical and support functions to ensure a sustainable business in Singapore. In 2024, I was given the opportunity to further develop into my role in Singapore up to P&L responsibility as Country Manager, Singapore & Malaysia for the DG business, as well as leading the DG-APAC Key account portfolio, further developing the regional business in APAC. I continuously look forward to developing my experience and networks, and I always appreciate any new opportunities presented to help me to continuously expand my knowledge and know-how, striving to grow and achieve excellence. I look forward to speaking with you soon. Rachel
