CHEW XUN YAO MATTHEW
My story starts in the pool, where I learned that overcoming each wave, whether it’s in swimming or life, takes grit, discipline, and an unyielding pursuit of excellence. From a young swimmer at six to a national water polo player, these early lessons are what I bring to my leadership at AIA FA.
I’ve always pushed for growth, both mine and those around me. My approach to leadership isn’t just about strategies; it’s about people, processes, and relentless progress. I ensure everyone I work with has their wave to ride and path to success.
In 2020, I wrote Me-ssion: Getting Your Sht Together, a personal manifesto on how to shape your life, make decisions, and craft the future you want.
My guiding lights are simple:
People Development: I invest in people because I believe in them. Mentorship, skills, mindset – I want everyone to surf their highest wave.
Process Excellence: I design systems that work, not just for today but for a sustainable tomorrow.
Progress-Driven: I embrace change, learn constantly, and encourage everyone to go beyond their limits to catch the next big wave.
My aim isn’t just to succeed; it’s to inspire and reveal the best in each person, making every challenge an opportunity to rise above, to unveil something extraordinary within us all.
