Introduce yourself in 100 words.

I am a Partner and the APAC Immigration Leader at Vialto. I am based in Singapore, and have over 14 years of global mobility experience. Throughout my career I have overseen sizeable immigration programs and managed large and international projects, including liaising with governments prior to project commencement. I provide advice to clients on workforce immigration planning, visa compliance, mitigated immigration raids and audits internationally. I am well-versed in cross-border issues within Greater China and across Asia Pacific.

Why did you decide to partner with FEM and Lead their Chapter meetings?

FEM is a great platform for knowledge and best practices sharing, and networking with industry practitioners. By leading the Singapore Chapter meetings, I would love to foster active participation, collaboration and learning from like-minded industry practitioners to candidly share their experiences, insights and aspirations related to all things in global mobility.

What can delegates expect from your Chapter meetings?

Singapore is strategically positioned in SEA with a world-class infrastructure—a diverse yet dynamic business environment, well-established residence, commute and governance systems. Delegates can expect highly relevant content, and a forum to discuss and address global mobility issues that are unique to this region.

What are some of the most important issues for global mobility professionals in your location?

As Singapore gains attraction to talents and entrepreneurs alike eyeing expansion of their investment portfolios, this creates immense opportunities to the city and businesses in the region. On a macro-level, the integration of technologies like AI, big data and automation is reshaping all aspects of business operations. Every industry will experience significant changes in workforce dynamics and job transitions. While labor transformation brings net positive impacts including efficiency and greater economies of scale, challenges include local skills gaps and an inability to attract talent. Mobility is clearly becoming a much bigger focus, with aligning mobility with talent becoming a top priority for GM professionals according to Vialto’s global survey in 2024.

Ask a question for FEM members to start the discussion/engagement on your Chapter Page that could also help you to prepare for your meetings.
