Women in Treasury Singapore Forum 2014

The first Women in Treasury Singapore Forum took place on Thursday 8th May 2014 at Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Over 130 attendees participated in a lively and thought provoking event.

The panel discussion involved our corporate keynote speakers:

  • Meena Dafesh, Director of Treasury, Asia Pacific & MEA, Ingram Micro
  • Jeanette Chang, Treasurer, Asia Pacific, IBM
  • Dianne Challenor, Head of Transaction Services, Asia Pacific, J.P. Morgan
  • Anne Collard, Global Head of Corporate Product Management, ANZ

The discussion was followed by an open question and answer session, with many questions and comments raised from the floor. This event provided a rare chance for women in our industry to network, share their experiences and hear women in the industry discuss some of the issues highlighted in the Study. It was also good to see a number of men attending to better understand the issues women face.
