Lyn, born in Malaysia, educated in Canada, and currently based in Thailand, boasts an illustrious career spanning nearly three decades with a top global bank, with her last posting being the President & CEO of Thailand and Greater Mekong, covering Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.

In late 2020, in addition to being an advisor to several family owned businesses, she pursued her entrepreneurial passion, aiming to make a difference in financially underserved communities. Having resided in six global cities, Lyn’s banking career expanded across ten countries in both North America and Asia. In 2012, Bloomberg recognized her as the International CEO of the Year in Thailand for leading a prominent financial institution and her roles as the Global Ambassador for Living with HIV and a member of the Global Diversity & Inclusion council.

Driven by a strong belief in doing more for the underserved segment, where up to two-thirds lack formal financial system access and face unscrupulous lending practices, Lyn embarked on establishing Mula-X, a fintech in Thailand. Mula-X
focuses on providing access to financial services to its low-income salaried user base through its platform and two owned and managed products: earned wage access and salary to wallet. Lyn, a staunch advocate of lifelong learning and
knowledge as a catalyst for financial freedom, operates Mula-X financial services platform alongside a comprehensive learning portal focused on financial literacy, wellness, self-improvement, and parenting knowledge.
