Bio
Candy Choong-Orłowski
I've had the pleasure of knowing Jolyn for quite a while now, and let me tell you, she's the real deal in our industry – the cream of the crop. What's so impressive about Jolyn is how she carries herself. Her professionalism is on a whole other level. She tackles everything with precision and a work ethic that's truly top-notch. No matter how tricky the situation, Jolyn handles it with finesse. But it's not just her professionalism that stands out – it's her insatiable curiosity. Jolyn is always hungry to learn more about our industry. She's like a sponge for knowledge, soaking up everything she can get her hands on. Her passion for what we do is contagious, and it's no surprise she's always coming up with fresh ideas and approaches. And let's not forget her energy. Jolyn's enthusiasm is infectious. She brings a can-do attitude to everything she does. I have no doubt that Jolyn is going places in our industry. With her unique blend of professionalism, curiosity, and boundless energy, she's a force to be reckoned with. I'm genuinely excited to see her continue to grow and make her mark in the years ahead.

It was my privilege to work with Jolyn when she led the Business Development Team for Payments at Grab. She was a very clear-thinker who provided strategic direction for the team, and also took time to understand operational processes to drive efficiencies at the working-level. What really set Jolyn apart as a leader was the empathy she displayed towards her team mates. She not only understood their perspectives but also went the extra mile to uplift them. She made it a point to learn about the strengths of every individual in the team and provided them with stretch assignments that helped them to learn and grow. All the above allowed Jolyn to build a closely-knit team that consistently delivered strong results.
