“Personal growth is not a matter of learning new information but also unlearning old limits.” – Alan Cohen

What drives your passion for Supply Chain Management, and what do you like most about your profession?

Since young, I have always looked at things from a macro and holistic manner. I do not see the problem and solution separately, but I look at them as my information tool to overcome obstacles and achieve my goals.

While some may see the supply chain as a monotonous industry or profession, I view it differently. To me, supply chain management is like building a Lego set. Brick by brick, with the right attitude, the lego can be completed whilst having fun. This is why supply chain management is exciting and keeps me going on in my profession.

What motivates you every day at work?

Compared to 10 – 20 years ago, Supply Chain has become one of the fastest-growing industries in Singapore and is also an essential process in my company. As my role oversees the end-to-end supply chain management, I need to process tons of information daily. Hence, it is critical to understand the best practices and work efficiently. I see myself as the enabler for my organisation, which makes me look forward to work every day.

Why did you choose to enrol to the Bachelor of Commerce (Supply Chain Management) at the University of Wollongong? How did the programme help you as a Supply Chain Manager?

The international quality of the programme offered at the University of Wollongong at PSB Academy had definitely been a stepping stone to expanding my business knowledge and building my personal development. Given the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures honed my communication and collaboration skills. The learning environment set the stage that is similar to MultiNational Company.

What were some of the most valuable takeaways as a PSB Academy student?

I was able to network with people from different countries and built close friendships. This was definitely an unforgettable and priceless experience.

If you can have a conversation with yourself when you were still an undergraduate, what advice and guidance would you give?

Be brave to step out of your comfort zone and embrace changes. Wake up, make the best out of your day and enjoy life to the fullest. Take the risk and grow from there. All these will propel you forward in life.
