About me: I hold a Bachelors of Accountancy from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Before joining LBS, I was in the Corporate Strategy and M&A team at DWS Group (formerly Deutsche Asset Management), where I engaged in the execution of strategic initiatives, such as M&A, divestments and joint ventures. Prior to this, I was in the Strategy and Transactions team at Ernst and Young, where I conducted financial due diligence for M&A transactions in the financial services sector. I started my career in the Financial Services Assurance team at PwC, focusing on banking audits. I am also an ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) and CA (Singapore).
I joined LBS to broaden my expertise in diverse areas of finance while enhancing my global outlook and leadership skills.
In my free time, I enjoy travelling, water sports, playing the drums and discovering new craft beers.
Three topics I can be approached about: Working in Asia/Singapore; M&A advisory/in-house roles; craft beer.
