The greatest value that I bring to EDC is my international work experience and good understanding of the Asian business landscape acquired while working with the International Business Development Group at EDC as well as for financial institutions located in Singapore and Malaysia. I have proven successes in developing a deal pipeline and on-boarding major corporates in ASEAN as well as Greater China. Prior to joining EDC, my 6½ years as a senior relationship manager at HSBC Bank Canada has also provided me with enriching exposures to global businesses, especially to the Asia-Pacific region. My 14 years of banking experience in total has equipped me with the knowledge necessary to deliver the trade finance, risks management and banking solutions to Canadian businesses effectively. I am an effective communicator with strong leadership skills and result oriented. I have achieved 'High-Meet' regularly in my annual performance appraisal. I was a HSBC Bank Canada 2005 President's Award winner, placing me amongst some of the top performers in that organization. I was already an Acting Branch Manager for a commercial bank in Singapore with over 20 direct reports at the young age of 30. Constant exposure to major corporate clients has given me good insight into successful business development, relationship management and sound understanding of financial analysis and credit underwriting. I am able to work productively as part of team and become used to working under pressure and meeting strict deadlines.
