Kerri Tan
Senior Account Manager, Digital Industry Singapore
"My experience in EDB has not been what I had imagined before I joined. It has been even better!"
"When I transitioned from the private sector several years ago, I was embraced by an organisation that thrived on a strong culture of growth, adaptability, and collaboration. I had the privilege to contribute meaningfully to our vision and mission through various roles and workstreams. These opportunities have given me immense professional growth and instilled in me a deep sense of purpose and fulfilment."
"But the best thing about EDB to me is the people. We support each other, no matter the difficulties faced, so that we do better – be it individually or collectively – with passion and dedication. EDB has been a great place for experienced hires like myself to uncover and build on my strengths, shape my career and be empowered to make a difference wherever and whenever I can."
Andy Lua
EDB Scholar (2018)
Associate (2019)
Account Manager, Consumer
"During the Associate Programme, the rotations across various business functions gave associates a good sense of the broad scope of work in economic development. It’s also a good litmus test for understanding what your interests and inclinations are, the skillsets and experiences you would like to acquire, and make an informed decision of how and where within EDB you would like to launch your career."
"Even though I was fresh out of university, I was given the chance in the programme to co-engage global c-suite leaders. I also learnt a lot from seeing my teammates ‘in action’, and benefited from nurturing colleagues who would invest significant amounts of time to share their own experiences and learnings. You can tell that they’re genuinely vested in you and your personal development and are taking steps to set you up for success both in and outside work."
Isaac Gan
Environmental Sustainability Intern (2021)
Associate (2022)
"During my internship, my project explored the potential of the circular economy and circular business models for Singapore. I investigated the opportunities for valorising end-of-life electronics and its feasibility for Singapore. We also validated our hypotheses extensively with a variety of stakeholders, including local SMEs, global MNCs, startups, research institutes and government agencies, to reach clear ‘where to play’ and ‘how to win’ choices."
"The highlight of my internship was presenting the findings of the study with our Enterprise Singapore and NEA counterparts, which paved the way for inter-agency collaboration. My positive experience led me to join EDB’s Associate Programme, and further my career in EDB."
