Our People

I work with leaders and organisations to unlock their full potential wth impactful learning and development strategies. Working across Singapore and Asia, I have trained more than 50,000 people from diverse sectors such as travel, education, healthcare, technology and transportation. I help people connect, collaborate and create innovative solutions as high performing teams.

Today, I focus on:

🎯 Transformative leadership – designing and running impactful workshops, training and coaching programmes that shift behaviour, not just provide knowledge

🎯 Building high performing teams

🎯 Facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue to unlock collective vision and action across industries

I bring a wealth of cross cultural experience and domain expertise in learning and leadership gained from complex multistakeholder learning and development projects. At SUSS, I teach ‘Planning for Sustainable Change’ in the Masters in Boundary Crossing Learning and Leadership Programme (MBX). The course provides thought leadership on stakeholder management for designing sustainable outcomes and impact. As Principal Specialist at the Adult Learning Collaboratory, I experimented with adult learning strategies to help Singapore create a future-ready workforce.

A champion of lifelong learning at the Institute for Adult Learning, I have facilitated the entire range of national adult educator programmes from how to design, facilitate and assess competency-based learning to how to implement advanced process facilitation techniques for mindset change. As a Skills-Badging assessor, I had the privilege of assessing the work of hundreds of trainers from Singapore and overseas.

I co-founded Surge Consulting.

I work on measurement and the integration of measurement into a feedback loop that allows the system to improve. This means understanding both how to measure effectively and where a system should be measured. I first worked on physical systems in the semiconductor industry, and now in Surge I work with ‘people’ systems related to leadership and team interactions.

To enable measurement in organisations, Surge create automated, real-time assessment of meetings and lessons using AI analysis combined with validated behavioral/psychological frameworks. This allows us to see what’s happening in teams – communication patterns, psychological safety, information-sharing and decision-making quality.

This enables:

🎯 Leaders to move from intuition-based to evidence-based decision-making

🎯 Teams to reflect continuously and improve rapidly

🎯 Organizations to build feedback-rich, data-informed cultures where teams perform at scale

🎯 Educators to understand how effective they are at implementing pedagogies for impactful learning
