EDB alumni

A career at EDB touches lives in many ways. Read profiles of EDB alumni and about the lasting value of their experiences at EDB.

Abel Ang, Chief Technology Officer at US medical device company Hill-Rom Inc

“EDB provides you with a toolbox that allows you to succeed in business anywhere. It gives you a great mix of hard and soft skills that you would be hard pressed to develop elsewhere.”

Png Cheong Boon, Chief Executive of SPRING Singapore

“Working at EDB is really a more intensive form of an MBA. From your interaction with businesses, you learn a lot. You’re dealing with CEOs and senior executives. You hear why they adopt certain strategies and how they go about their execution.”

Aw Kah Peng, Chief Executive Officer (Singapore Tourism Board) On secondment

“Working at EDB gives you an understanding of what makes businesses tick. At the same time, it also gives you an insight into the concerns of a country and what makes good government. It exposes you to the private sector dimension as well as the public sector’s goals.”

How to stay in touch

The relationships that you build at EDB will last long after you leave. EDB alumni maintain connections that open doors, offer support, and enhance interests. The prime route for this is the EDB Society, an alumni body whose members have been associated with EDB as Board members and staff, and who continue to be imbued with the mission of nation building. EDB Society members continue to be active in the government, business and the community and maintain close links to the Board's programmes and activities.
