Bio
Duong Quy Do
I knew Tim in both personal and professional capacity and I am always impressed with how humble, dedicated and self-motivated he is. He worked extremely hard to build relationship between our non-profit organisation and the social enterprise he was leading. He is a great listener and problem solver. He possesses great understanding of the issues and challenges that social enterprise models in developing countries face. Tim is a valuable asset to any organisation he works for.
Agnes Lam
Tim is a passionate and competent professional who understands both the needs of the business world, as well as the needs of the not for profit sector. He seamlessly bridge these two worlds and served as a catalyst for innovation and realistic change while helping to forge the unique partnership of Hagar International (supporting survivors of violence and exploitation) and Joma Bakery (business with a social heart) in Vietnam. His critical support during the start up phase of this partnership has and will continue to foster real change in the lives of many disadvantaged women and children. Great work Tim!
