MEET OUR TEAM
DR. TANAI CHARINSARN
Director
The buoyant energy from Dr. Tanai comes from inside out and people gravitate to his warmth. He is easily the smartest person in the room yet bowls you over with his child-like curiosity about you. Dr Tanai can make a dry topic like financial statements analysis funny by relating it to courtship and marriage.
CHRIS ONG
Business Development Lead
Chris always believe that being a good listener is better than an advice- giver. He empathises with your issues and strives to be the help for his clients. As a competitive netball player and also as a coach, he strongly believes that true teamwork is the pinnacle of effective and personal growth. He relates all these back to his clients and strives to bring your teams and leaders to a greater heights.
DOMINIC CHEW
Chief Branding Advisor
Dominic describes his sense of humour as The Economist - a succinct way of saying he is level-headed in his views on global, social, economic and business news while being quirky and unconventional at the same time. He takes a visual approach to issue framing and solutioning and draws on his sketchpad to clue you in.
PETER LIM
Facilitator
When asked to complete the sentence, “At home I’m the go-to person for…”, Peter laughed, “whatever they want me to do!”. In his free time, he takes long contemplative walks at MacRitchie and serves in church doing meet-and-greet and guiding new visitors. His favourite film genre is action and crime. He carries his can-do attitude, investigative inclination, action orientation, patience and shepherding to his role as a facilitator.

PHILIP AW
Facilitator
While Philip is current with his movie watching, his favourite film is “The Pianist”. He enjoys stories about adventure and survival in harsh situations. Philip and his family believe in natural healing and chemical-free living as much as possible and make their own cleaning products using natural ingredients and essential oils. As a facilitator, Philip focuses on positivity and well-being and takes a structured approach to elicit leadership qualities from participants.
IRENE TEO
Facilitator
Irene draws you in instantly with her positivity and succinct quips. She makes you feel like you’re the only person in the room even if the room is full of people. Some people are the life of the party and then there’s Irene – the actual party. When she is facilitating, the energy is electric and the learning is high.
