Hello, I'm Alvin C.
With over 20 years of cross-sector experience, I am an accomplished professional with a diverse background in operations and administrative management, corporate real estate, integrated facilities management, and workplace services. My experience spans multiple industries, including FMCG, semiconductors, banking, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, sports, higher education, non-profits, and lifestyle businesses. I also oversaw cross-disciplinary teams spanning Finance, Procurement, HR, Workplace Services, Real Estate, Facilities Management, Health & Safety, Security, Hospitality, Front-of-House, F&B, and Sales & Marketing. Today, I apply this depth of experience as a freelance consultant. My specialisation includes enhancing operations, transforming workplace and customer experience, and optimising real estate. I hold an Executive MBA and am also a Certified Solution-Focused Coach, EQ Consultant, and certified Training Facilitator. Beyond my professional career, I volunteer actively - as a youth mentor, volunteer police officer, and treasurer for a non-profit organisation. These meaningful experiences have sharpened my interpersonal skills, deepened my empathy, and broadened my understanding of community needs. Such human-centred skills are critical for leaders to differentiate themselves and thrive in today’s VUCA, tech-driven, and AI-powered world.
