With over two decades of experience in energy, finance, and sustainability, Singh will spearhead the environmental organisation’s climate action and conservation efforts from Singapore and drive the scale-up of nature-based solutions (NbS) across the Asia-Pacific region and globally.
She succeeds Thomas Brzostowski, who served as TNC’s interim Singapore country director from March 2023 to January 2025. Brzostowski now serves as the director of strategic development for Asia Pacific at TNC.
Singh previously worked for Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, energy companies Centrica and BP, and finance groups Deutsche Bank, Macquarie Bank, and Westpac. Since returning to Singapore in 2012, Singh has led various digital transformation and sustainable finance initiatives.
She serves as advisor to Sustainable Finance Development Network, a platform that promotes sustainability finance within Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) countries, and is a member of the non-profit Global Finance and Technology Network, where she advocates for stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors in sustainable development.
Will McGoldrick, TNC’s Asia Pacific managing director, said Singh’s appointment strengthens the organisation’s capacity to deliver impactful climate and conservation outcomes. He noted that her expertise in sustainable finance and the ability to bridge the public and private sectors will be key in accelerating progress toward TNC’s 2030 goals.
TNC established its Singapore programme in late 2022 as a global hub for innovation, partnerships, and science with the aim to scale conservation and climate impact across the region while supporting Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, which includes a commitment to reduce waste sent to landfill by 30 per cent by 2030 and quadruple solar energy deployment by the end of this year.
TNC’s focus areas in Asia Pacific include catalysing NbS and carbon markets, fostering research collaboration, innovating impact finance solutions, and supporting regional corporate partnerships.
