Hello!
I'm Brian.
I support efforts to enhance Singapore's international organisation and family office ecosystems.
Previously, I helped leaders make greater impact through systems thinking, human-centred design approaches, and futures.
I am also a classicist, trained at Oxford and Cambridge.

Classics Research
My academic interests lie at the intersection of society and the economy of ancient Rome. I have a BA (Congratulatory First Class) from the University of Oxford, and a MPhil (Distinction) from the University of Cambridge.
My peer-reviewed articles utilise a broad range of evidence, from the literary to the archaeological, to present new ways of thinking about social relations during the Roman Empire.

Based on work at the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre's Colabs initiative, I co-authored a chapter on a collaborative solutioning approach to building ecosystem understanding and responses to migrant worker-related issues.
