“It was a pleasure working with Marcus as the moderator of one of our standout panels at Echelon Singapore 2025 - ‘Building in the Semiconductor Age: What Tech Founders Need to Know About Supply Chains, Partnerships, and Strategic Positioning.’ Marcus brought a rare combination of deep industry understanding and an ability to guide nuanced conversations with clarity and energy.… His moderation elevated the session and made it one of the most engaging and informative parts of the program.”

2025.

It was very engaging watching him build and refine the brands for the various companies represented in the classroom in real time. By going through those exercises with us, Marcus was able to show how to use the brand frameworks he was sharing with us and how we could directly implement it in our own businesses.”

2025.

“I haven’t known Marcus for very long, but it didn’t take much time to getting to know what kind of person he is.

His sincerity, warmth, and genuine care for the residents stood out to me. You can tell he’s doing this for the right reasons, and the residents truly appreciate him.

A down-to-earth, honest guy who leads with his heart — glad to have crossed paths with him!”

He showed a genuine passion for connecting with community members and didn’t shy away from engaging with even the most demanding residents. In this short time, he successfully provided valuable assistance and brought the branch activists together effectively. We will miss Marcus’ leadership, and I sincerely wish him the very best for his health.”

“As PAP Chairman for Sengkang East, Marcus had consistently demonstrated a genuine passion for serving the community without expecting anything in return. When he assumed leadership of our branch, he built upon the work of his predecessor and launched new initiatives from the ground-up for residents and families here, by mobilising friends from the industry and our Party’s committees like the Women’s Wing and Young PAP. His actions and motivation clearly reflect a deep commitment to effective, service-oriented leadership. I greatly value the example he has set and wish him good health and success, along with blessings for his family.”

I'm grateful for his time and wisdom and look forward to future opportunities to learn from such an outstanding industry leader.”

He quickly connected me with an SUSS professor specializing in behavioral science, encouraging us to collaborate and ultimately publish an article in The Business Times.

Marcus has significantly enhanced Temus's visibility while building a strong and capable team.”

“My company was fortunate that Marcus agreed to take on a role as our company's board advisor. During the period when Marcus was advising us, our company improved significantly… He helped us set the foundation to strengthen our brand positioning and create long term strategies. The time spent together also developed our relationship as good friends beyond the business relationship. That is especially rare. Marcus is very giving and he is very generous with his time despite his busy schedule.”

“Your insightful sharing of how Singapore as a country has developed and is growing and the push for AI as a country had our delegates much impressed.

Not only was it an engaging and interactive session but we also had an opportunity to meet your Temus team online and face-to-face.

Appreciate your support always, Marcus. Look forward to more such collaborations with Temus and yourself.”

He is approachable and friendly, which in my opinion is an important leadership trait.

He gives a lot of time and energy to serve his community, and that is very inspiring and encouraging to me.”

2024.

“I had the privilege of working with Marcus on the Step IT Up programme during our time together at Temus. Marcus was instrumental in driving recruitment and brand building for the programme, enabling us to successfully fill three cohorts within slightly more than a year, despite Temus and Step IT Up being relatively new to the Singapore market. Marcus was also forthcoming with sharing his perspectives, helping our team successfully navigate some of the challenges we faced getting the programme off the ground. It has been a pleasure working with Marcus and I'm confident that anyone else who works with him will have the same experience!”

2024.

“Marcus has been an inspiring co-worker in our mission for digital transformation for the public sector.

We both joined Temus on the same day back in 2022, and since then he has successfully brought the company into the digital scene.

Marcus exhibited strategic leadership, leveraged his vast networks, and was thoughtful in its execution.

We collaborated on many initiatives as an integrated sales and marketing team and together, we accomplished the goals while having fun! That itself is priceless. Well done Marcus!”

Marcus is also a strong advocate for national talent development.... I have no doubt that he will continue to make significant contributions to these important fields in the future.”

2024.

“Got an opportunity to have Marcus as a keynote speaker for Corp Comms Asia Conference 2024. As a keynote speaker, he captivated the audience with his engaging presence and delivered insightful perspectives on corporate communication strategies.

His case study on Temus, and other businesses was not only well-received but also provided valuable real-world insights into effective communication practices.

Looking forward to more impactful sessions from him in the future! Very nice and friendly person to be with!”

2024.

“Temus (has become) a company with the great vision of being Singapore’s own leading technology services company. (For) anyone who shares that same vision, it is the place to be.

Certainly there are bumps and hurdles, but during (these) 2 years… I witnessed how it (has) matured. As long as Temus continues to head towards the same vision, (it’ll be) a great place to build your career along with company’s rapid growth.“

2024.

“… Marcus played a huge role in my learning and development - continuously pointing out growth areas, identifying strength points and ensuring that my learning never stops. He also served as a reliable captain of the ship through calm and rough waters at the agency, always ensuring that clients were given the proper counsel, but more importantly, making sure that the team remained protected and inspired during the process. Marcus is the kind of leader that never hesitates to get his hands dirty with the team. Whether you are an entry-level executive, or a senior manager, you can always count on Marcus to have your back at any time of the day.”

2022.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Marcus for the past year when he served as President of IPRS. Marcus is driven, has a "can-do" attitude and always full of positive energy. He was supportive of the secretariat and brought out the best in us.

When Singapore went into circuit breaker mode due to covid-19 pandemic last year, Marcus was able to steer IPRS's digital transformation smoothly with his council. IPRS's AGM, events and courses were transferred online instantaneously. IPRS was one of the first societies in Singapore to conduct a virtual AGM in April 2020.”

2020.

“I worked with Marcus for the past year, he managed Tableau’s Asia Pacific marketing communication whereas I managed the services business.

Marcus has been extremely precise in the way he drove our top leadership positioning of Tableau’s across APAC, resulted in wide awareness and adoption of Tableau. I would recommend Marcus to be part of any organisation if they want to drive top leadership communication!”

2019.

“Marcus was a speaker at the PR Asia conference that I organised in 2015.

He gave a brilliant history of the evolution of business thinking in regards to greater social causes, and shared relevant and practical examples of businesses that had succeeded because their ability to connect with a broader social need. It was a highly entertaining and thought-provoking presentation.”

2016.

“Marcus was our communications lead for Tableau's APAC region. He is a great leader with an instinct for storytelling. He's able to manage many projects at once and always with a smile.

I'd recommend Marcus as a marketing/communications professional in any industry as he's easily adaptable and his instincts are right on.”

2016.

“I worked with Marcus through Ying Communications (Tableau's Singapore agency). He is a strong leader and an experienced and motivated communications professional who continuously achieves stellar results. Since taking over APAC communications for Tableau, he has hit and exceeded KPIs for existing markets, and broken into and driven coverage for new markets. His enthusiastic nature makes working with him enjoyable and is definitely someone I learnt a lot from.“

2016.

“I work with Marcus on Analyst Relations at Tableau. In 2015, we scaled the Analyst Relations program globally, and Marcus joined to head up our APAC AR efforts… he immediately rose up to the challenge of getting to know the sphere of analysts who matter to Tableau in APAC and has been instrumental in expanding Tableau awareness amongst analysts in APAC. In just the second month that Marcus joined Tableau, he was already organizing media/analyst events on behalf of Tableau. Marcus was able to understand Tableau's vision, products and core messaging very quickly, and articulate the trends that matter in our market...”

2016.

“A true gentleman who knows his strengths and how to put it forward to benefit the teams and Organization.

Marcus continues his knowledges via reading books and this is not common for someone in his position. He is able to translate his ideas into strategies and improved the share of voice for PSB Academy, this is crucial for more people to know who PSB Academy is.”

This has helped us greatly in working on a good direction for the project. He is empowering, smart, detailed, responsible, patient and a nice sense of humour. His ability to strike a chord with someone on the onset is a trait that is rare and highly valued. I had the chance to pick up the intangibles of relating to others through him. Working with him is always enjoyable as he is also highly amicable - open to share and provide us suggestions for our careers and daily lives...”

2015.

“Marcus possesses strong leadership skills and attitude of a good team player. My working experience with Marcus was a total joy as we partnered to build consumer awareness and gaining key stakeholder's trust for one of our respected regional clients. As the regional market leader, Marcus performed his job very well, not only in communicating with all markets across the region but to also make sure that each of the markets work side by side as per planned and get the supports they need to produce good communications and marketing results...”

2014.

“Working with Marcus during my stint in SingPost for the stamp issue of UN International Year of Cooperatives 2012 was a great experience.

Meticulous, fast turnaround and highly efficient were the attributes displayed in his professionalism. A great partner to work with and a highly reliable counterpart.”

2012.
