HI, I'M ALLISON.
At 22, I had a vision of the life I wanted to build. Today, I'm at where I've always imagined to be, but the journey here was anything but easy.
It took risk, including pouring my life savings into an MBA at INSEAD. It took courage through moments of fear and uncertainty, including times when I had just over $1,000 left in my bank account and wondered how I was going to make things work. It took resilience through frustration - late nights, saying yes when I wanted to say no, and learning to “suck it up” through difficult situations and people, because the bigger goal matters.
That is why my mantra, Dream. Do. Deliver., means so much to me. Dreaming gives us direction. Doing builds momentum. Delivering turns ambition into evidence. It is how I have pursued my own goals, and it is the spirit I bring to helping others pursue theirs with greater clarity, confidence, and courage.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I bring over 18 years of experience across news media, technology, and finance, with exposure to functions and stakeholders across operations, engineering, sales / go-to-market, AI, and sustainable finance. My journey began as a news and business editor before I earned my MBA at INSEAD, one of the world’s leading business schools. Since then, I have launched and led global programmes for multinational organisations, earning both team and individual awards for execution, collaboration, and impact.
Today, I work with professionals, leaders, and organisations through 1:1 coaching, workshops, and keynotes. I help clients sharpen their positioning, strengthen their communication, prepare for high-stakes interviews and conversations, and lead with greater presence and influence. I am trained by the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
I'm also the published author of You Don’t Suck, a light-hearted but honest book about what it takes to pursue goals, challenge limiting beliefs, and live with greater purpose.
I currently live in Singapore. Whenever I can, I speak and write to spark joy, reflection, laughter, inspiration, and the occasional controversy. I am happiest when I am lost in imagination, wandering through nature, indulging in spicy local food, and trying to learn the piano one day.
