Tan Pei Wen
Pei Wen is currently the Country Manager for Carehealth, a health technology firm that aims to make access to healthcare seamless and easily available to everyone. She heads up the Operations team and is constantly developing new ideas to improve efficiency and productivity across the team, whilst trying to create an ecosystem that can enable healthcare services across the globe.
Formerly from the banking industry, she took a career break to spend time with her children and eventually signed up for the NUS FintechSG Programme when she was ready to rejoin the workforce. That led her to a career switch into healthcare and she is enjoying every single moment of it.
Shanker Manokaran
Shanker has a decade of experience in managing ICT in the hospitality industry.
Glenn Lim
Then a seasoned client support and business management professional with solid years of customer engagement and client relationship management. Now a budding digital transformation and technology implementation leader in the finance and technology sectors.
Donn Yam
Donn is a problem-solver, translator and connector. Using a human-centred approach, he searches for elegant solutions to existing problems. Donn is passionate about making the world a better place through people and technology.
Donn has worked in both the private and public sector since graduating from the NUS Business School. Most of his roles have been quite mundane in the logistics and supply chain area (plan, source, make, deliver) but he has also been involved in business development, developing policies and partnerships, product development, spying, mentoring and coaching.
Before Covid-19, he was headhunted by a Latin American MNC to lead their supply chain team as part of their expansion into Asia. Due to covid, the expansion plans were suspended and Donn took this opportunity to pivot by immersing himself in the Fintech SG programme and picking up new knowledge, skills and network. Since completing the programme, he has continued to hone his skills/knowledge and is currently a co-founder of Sehat Health, a medtech blockchain focused on democratising data.
