Hong Zhang - Senior Engineer

I had known Jean for 15 years! I still remembered that she was doing roadshow back then when I first saw her back in Jurong Point. There was something about her personality and energy that attracted me to her. As I continue to interact with her as a friend and my financial planner, I realize that she is genuine in wanting the best for her clients and always ready to help. She is a professional in her career and a great listener who do her very best in providing timely assistance to her friends and clients. Outside her career, despite being an introvert, she is a dependable mother of 2 adorable kids, and she does her very best in balancing her work and life so as to provide them with utmost love and care. In addition to that, Jean is surrounded with friends who she really connects with, for she is always radiating bright positive energy to people around her, influencing us to become positive and cheerful! :) If you are looking for a financial planner and friend with positive traits, loving, genuine care and support for their friends, while still being a professional in her field of career, do consider Jean, for she is just that awesome and always doing her best for her friends and clients.

Jean is an exceptional individual whose positive personality shines whenever she goes. Her positive attitude towards learning has brought her to where she is, among the elites, as evident in her achievement as a TOT qualifier, year after year. However, her biggest strength remains her values and her ability to stay grounded as she treats everyone that cross path with her with a pure heart and a level of genuinity that will earn your trust in a heartbeat.
