Project Manager at Socialico Pte Ltd
Singapore
I enjoy harnessing the power of IT to drive business opportunities and create values, and I have been involved in such developments over a decade. Any business and projects can succeed with the right mix of marketing, technology and business knowledge.
Aside from internship stints at Johnson & Johnson, DFS and Standard Chartered Bank, and being involved as IT support in Singapore Management University, I also founded Swoozh (Swoozh.com) for IT Consultancy services and innovative project developments. We just founded Socialico to represent project FAME, a Facebook game. We were selected as top 50 startups by Facebook in fbFund 2009 out of 400+ entries.
I graduated with a double degree in Business Management and Science (Information Systems) from Singapore Management University, and majored in Finance. I spent 6 months in Belgium, Katholieke Universitat Leuven studying Painting & Arts, Dutch and Capital Investment Policy.
I believe in returning to the society through voluntary work, and I actively support any causes related to helping different beneficiaries.
