“DBS's Management Associate Programme was a game-changer for my career. The network I built through the programme was instrumental in my early career growth, helping me learn more about the business as I built up my network equity. I had the privilege of being exposed to new experiences often, allowing me to gain breadth from the job and depth from managing a team early on.
Through the programme, I acquired valuable skills and knowledge that empowered me to make impactful changes throughout my career, from successfully transforming the Structured Credit team after the Global Financial Crisis, to accelerating the growth of Financial Institutional Group during Covid-19 and helping DBS Taiwan become the country's largest foreign bank.”
“Entering DBS through the MA Programme helped me develop a strong network of colleagues. This included peers from my MA cohort, alumni, and even senior leadership team in the bank, with whom I had the privilege of working with and learned from.
These experiences proved invaluable as I have been able to design differentiated experiences that make a positive impact on our customers, clients and communities. The deeply entrenched culture of experimentation gave many opportunities to innovate in all the roles I’ve chosen, and empowered me to do the best I can until I know better.”
“The Management Associate Programme at DBS was a transformative experience and perfect launchpad for my banking career. It provided a strong and well-round foundation with its intensive training and exposure to senior leadership, but the real highlight was gaining a diverse and invaluable support network that helped me prepare for the diverse range of opportunities that have come my way.
It is this breadth of experience, rooted in foundation by the MA Programme, that has shaped my career trajectory and allowed me to play a pivotal role in championing several industry-first transactions that have had a transformative impact on Singapore's capital markets, from listing the first US REITs in Asia to paving the way for Singapore to be the premier REIT listing destination!”
