Asean CPA, CFA
I had a dream and it was to start my own business. After 31 years with a Big 4 international accounting firm, I decided to take early retirement effective 30 June 2018 from my position as an audit partner. I felt that the time was right to start my own business advisory practice. I know that it is not going to be a walk in the park but I will give it my best try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I have experience in both US GAAP and IFRS, in addition to Singapore FRS. I had served audit clients in various sectors, including technology, diversified industrial products, insurance and real estate investment trusts, both Singapore-listed companies and major MNCs with operations in Singapore. I have international experience, having lived and worked for a number of years in New Orleans and Boston, US and in Moscow, Russia.
I am serving as either an Independent Director or as a member of the Audit Committee for 4 not-for-profit organisations and at a golf club. I am also a member of ISCA's Investigation & Disciplinary Panel.
I enjoy playing golf, I admire the golf talents of Tiger Woods, and I am a keen supporter of Liverpool Football Club.
