This International Women's Day, we came together to honour the incredible women around us. From volunteering to support female beneficiaries with resume reviews and mock interviews to embracing resilience through Kintsugi and wellness talks, we are reminded that every action drives progress.

Our CEO Jason Moo has been recently appointed as one of FWA Singapore - Financial Women's Association's male champions, reinforcing his commitment as well as our efforts to foster a more equitable future where everyone has equal opportunity to be heard and thrive. #AccelerateAction #IWD
