Wally is an award winning filmmaker and runs a brand content company www.bigredbutton.com.sg


As an ontological coach and organisational development practitioner, Wally uses storytelling to help people/corporations/government agencies tackle emergent and persistent issues in Singapore.


Wally also leads a ground up initiative: https://m.facebook.com/StandUpForSG/, to find ways to contribute to Singapore’s narrative on what kind of country she could be and how are the best ways to contribute to one another.


In his spare time, Wally likes to look at global problems and help out in his own little way. He has built Indonesia’s first Haze Clean Air Shelters, crowdfunded aid in Sri Lanka after the bombings in 2018, crowdfunded 20 tonnes of rice to the Smokey Mountain community in the Philippines.
