Bio
Ken Liew
Edmond was our counterpart from G2000 Hong Kong during 2011-13. As the brand Principal, Edmond paid much attention to help us sustain both sales and profit growth. Besides sharing with branding and merchandising guidelines, he had contributed to devising many new ideas and initiatives in driving our business. Fashion retailing is highly competitive in Singapore, and Edmond demonstrated very strong effort in comprehending market competition and providing necessary solutions. Edmond was responsible and responsive. I find Edmond very helpful and reliable to work with, and would certainly recommend him.
Rene Mang

He is a smart and quick learner with thorough understanding of business development, retail dynamics and fashion trend. He is also a good communicator in aligning different parties' expectation and has excellent language skills and sensitivity in cultural differences, which are critical in his role dealing with business partners and new business projects in the region. Edmond is also a great leader to ensure team excellence. In summary, he is a strong commercial leader supported by solid logical thought process. Rene Mang.
