A servant leader of God without guile, unabashed in fulfilling God’s Will and living Christian values. Led by God to be certified by Massachusetts Institute of Technologies in Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain solutions, I’ve come to realise that board advisors and supposed tech talent experts have little experience and knowledge in Web 3 and blockchain. For Singapore to advance as the Global Cryptocurrency hub, we need fresh pairs of eyes and creative solutions and am open to Board positions to serve in Blockchain solutions and Cryptocurrency.

Celeste Zeng Hinrich Foundation
Occupation : Senior Management
Industries : Technology
Working in Marketing, Sales, Strategy and Corporate innovation teams, I enjoyed horizontal learning from different fields and will continue to sign up for new challenges. I also believe the best leaders think strategically and execute resiliently; I treasure opportunities in school or at work to observe and model different styles to form my own understanding of leadership.

I aspire to be a true global entrepreneur and I never stop preparing myself for it. Maybe I will never be as successful as I thought, but we call a dream a dream because it keeps you motivated and excited about the possibilities regardless of the reality. In the end, it’s the journey that matters.

All in all, I believe integrity, humility, empathy and curiosity is the winning recipe of leadership.
