Ms Hong Wee Tin

Chief Executive Officer / Managing Director / Co-Founder

I spent 11.5 years at the National Neuroscience Institute, Tan Tock Seng Hospital Singapore performing duties from neuro-research (neuro-genetics and MR spectroscopy of Alzheimer’s Disease, fMRI in reading disability, pre-operative neurosurgical motor and sensory fMRI) to research administration, and hospital management.

In 2010 I decided to put on hold my career advancement, after much deliberation to balance between work and family, to devote more time and care for my mother who was (still is) going through rehabilitation, readjusting to aging with cardiovascular and orthopedic problems (hip replacements), and glaucoma. Nonetheless, in 2013 with my 79 years old mother and our keen interests in wholesome foods, I pursued my interest in bread making, food processing, and Asian traditional pastries at the China Grain Products Research and Development Institute in Taiwan for 8 months.

I spent as much active fruitful time exploring my interests and passion at the same time; remained an active volunteer at a residential social care service I helped started in 2001 for the care and protection of disadvantaged female adolescents and juvenile delinquents. And I learned to cope and support my family through the sudden loss of young, loved ones.
