Professional Experience: Dr. Ivy began her entrepreneurial journey in the fashion retail industry before successfully exiting the business and retiring at 40. During her retirement, she pursued further education and founded a charity supporting underprivileged children and families. She later assumed the role of CEO at Watch Water, leading the company in introducing German water treatment technology and sustainable solutions across Asia. She also established Watch Family and Watch Investments to promote family wellness, business education, and entrepreneurial collaboration while helping SMEs build long-term resilience.
Turning Point: A defining turning point came during her five years of retirement when she devoted herself to education and charitable work. While supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds, she realised that creating lasting social impact required empowering families and business owners alike. After her husband’s accident, she took over the leadership of his water treatment business, combining her entrepreneurial experience with a mission to improve public health, environmental sustainability, and SME success.
What She Does Now: Today, Dr. Ivy leads Watch Water, Watch Family, and Watch Investments, championing sustainable water solutions, healthy living, and business growth. She actively mentors entrepreneurs, conducts business and leadership programmes, and works towards her vision of developing 1,000 sustainable SMEs and creating 10,000 happy, healthy families. Through partnerships, education, and innovation, she continues to bridge business success with social impact across Singapore and the region.
