Board of Advisors
Having acquired a taste for flying through the Singapore Junior Flying Club while schooling, Richard enrolled in the Republic of Singapore Air Force to fly. He obtained his Flying Wings in 1983 and retired in 2011. In that time he was privileged to interact with and learn from some of the best people and organisations across different continents, acquiring deep knowledge and experience in leading people, formulating and implementing strategies, and transforming organisations.
In the early 2000s he became interested in sustainability and began equipping himself with the necessary knowledge — one of his first courses being the Singapore Certified Energy Manager course, certified by the National Environment Agency. He established Green Ravolution Pte. Ltd. to translate aspects of the Sustainable Singapore Blueprint into action, specifically in recycling and energy efficiency.
Throughout his public and business life, Richard has always believed that continuous education is a critical part of being able to perform at the highest levels. He is excited to play a constructive role in advising and supporting education in the hospitality sector.
