Celine Tay — CEO
With a decade of experience in Executive Search, my expertise lies in HR, Sales & Marketing, Underwriting, Risk, Legal, and Compliance functions across a diverse range of industries, including FinTech, Banking, Traditional & Alternative Asset Management, Insurance, Healthcare, Technology, and Hospitality. Throughout my career, I have partnered closely with CEOs, CFOs, General Counsels, Chief Compliance Officers, HRBPs and TA teams to shape hiring strategies, conduct market mapping, manage candidate pipelines, and drive offer execution - helping organizations attract and retain top talent. Recognizing the importance of gaining deeper commercial insights, I made a purposeful transition into a short-term in-house Regional Talent Acquisition role at one of Singapore’s leading e-commerce companies. This experience has allowed me to bridge the gap between agency and corporate recruitment, equipping me to be a more holistic and strategic partner to businesses moving forward. At ShopBack, my role involved regional hiring efforts across Engineering, Operations, Sales, Marketing, Tech Support, and Business Development functions. I recruited for key markets including the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. Working closely with stakeholders across the region, our team developed tailored talent strategies that aligned with business goals and market dynamics. To me, recruitment is not about executing transactions, hitting KPIs, or closing roles: it’s about building long-lasting, meaningful partnerships and providing thoughtful counsel on career growth and development. I believe that with sincerity and genuine, thoughtful conversations, I can help the people I work with flourish by making the most of the opportunities and circumstances they are given.
