Meet The Team
Kelly
Strategic Advisor
I am actually an introvert but of course, no one believes that. I love nothing more than reading (I am on multiple books at a time), writing (but doing a doctorate thesis put paid to the joy of writing for a while), drinking, and being with the people I love.
Amanda
Managing Partner, Content and Sales
The middle-child syndrome is real. Researchers say they are likely to develop maladaptive perfectionism. So Amanda has a constant desire to have everything go as planned, including her dreams of reaching 1M45!
Angela
Head of Editorial
Angela’s main hobby is to Netflix and chill and that saves her a lot of money.
Sim
Assistant Editor
I start my week with a fridge full of fresh ingredients and the optimism that I’ll cook healthy meals every day. But by Sunday, I’m exhausted and have a fridge full of rotten food.
Wai Kaye
Senior Graphic Artist
Wai Kaye (also known as Kaya in these parts) is living proof that you don’t need to know math to teach people how to budget.
Kaylee
Graphic Artist
Kaylee’s motto is it’s better to be safe than sorry, so always think twice and research before spending!
Mei Qi
Graphic Artist
Mei Qi has nailed the savings game, but when it comes to investing, let’s just say her money has been on a permanent vacation! She hopes to grow her investment journey and make her savings work as hard as she does.
Sophie
Graphic Artist
Sophie carefully budgets for her recreational activities as she wants to make the most out of her hard-earned money.
Ellaine
Head of Marketing
Ellaine is using her hyperactive personality to create multiple hobbies turned side gigs. If she’s not writing, creating decks, or editing spreadsheets, you will find her practising yoga, DJ-ing, or cooking adobo.
Alyssa
Regional Marketing Executive
Alyssa has only invested in herself thus far and is getting better with personal finances every day, with the help of The Simple Sum.
Jacquelyn
Head of Sales
Jacquelyn loves shopping but she usually resists the urge to swipe her cards by mixing and matching the clothes in her wardrobe. She knows the best credit card rewards and air miles bargains.
Crystal
Sales Support Assistant Manager
I’m a homebody and introvert. I save money over the weekends by listening to my favourite classical and Chinese contemporary music and pass the time playing a few musical instruments.
Sara
Sales Support Executive
Sara realised the importance of investing and is determined to make her money grow. She is focusing on daily habits like skipping French food for nasi lemak.
