A journey begins: from Taiwan to Singapore 

Claire began with Standard Chartered in 2019 when she joined the bank in Taiwan as a Relationship Manager.

The Global Talent Mobility programme experience

The predominantly English-speaking environment in Singapore has significantly enhanced her language skills. Moreover, collaborating with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds has deepened her appreciation for different cultures. 

She enjoyed working as a Relationship Manager in International Banking in the Singapore hub, where she has embraced the fulfilling, motivating and pressure-loving nature of the job. She finds immense satisfaction in her work, thrives on the patience it demands, and embraces the pressure that comes with it. 

I'm grateful for my managers, and colleagues for providing essential information and support during my transition to Singapore. This support was crucial in overcoming challenges associated with working in a new market.
