Bio
Alston Tan
Imran was my direct supervisor and mentor during my internship at Gush. Having worked closely with him for an extended period of time, I say with confidence that he is an extremely capable and knowledgeable individual that works well with and gets along with people across different levels of the organisation. Being curious about and new to the field of business development, Imran took the time to educate and coach me on the fundamentals of sales and marketing, equipping me with crucial and relevant knowledge that has helped me in my professional career. He also made sure I made the most out of my internship by making the effort to understand what I needed to learn, and making sure I received the information and exposure I sought for. Beyond my internship, Imran has remained a close contact in the capacity of a friend and mentor. He continues to share meaningful advice and assistance that has helped me immensely. He has definitely made a significant impact on my professional development and career. I am privileged to have been able to work with and learn from him.

Imran has played an instrumental role in my career and personal development since my internship stint at gush. He is a well-respected leader who leads by example and delivers results. His competency in gathering and analysing relevant data, structuring his thought process and executing with perfection makes him an outstanding manager and teammate. In addition, he is capable to articulate and present his thoughts clearly and precisely. Even after having left gush, Imran continues to be my mentor, confidant and friend. He continues to point me in the right direction, and is someone I can always turn to for advice. It is safe to say that his mentorship has shaped a big part of my career.
