Tamara spent the first half of her career in Europe and Asia in energy, financial services and fund management, governing trading floors in London, New York and Asia Pacific. Having earned her stripes at Centrica Plc, BP Oil International, Deutsche Bank and Macquarie Bank, she returned to Singapore in 2012.
On home ground, Tamara served Westpac Banking Corporation and then her country.  At GIC Pte Ltd, Singapore’s Sovereign Wealth Fund, she contributed to digital transformation and sustainability initiatives, building relationships across the financial ecosystem worldwide. This ignited her to embark upon a portfolio career centred in finance, digital adoption and sustainability.
At present, Tamara works at all levels across industries to better the finance ecosystem and further social enterprises through sustainable business practices. She leverages her experience and her education in Law and Applied Accounting to boost organisations and causes focused on equality and education, including Conjunct Consulting, South East Asia’s first social change consultancy, and the People Centered Internet.
Tamara attained her Executive Masters in Business Administration from INSEAD whilst heavily-pregnant with her second child, which she confesses to being “efficient but not necessarily recommended”. She recharges through appreciating food and drink in excellent company, then exercising and dieting in solitude. She is devoted to her two young sons, who have stretched her out of her comfort zone and into efforts to master ball sports and patience.
