The Providend Conversation with a CEO That Wears Many Hats

Living a Good Life: Steering Life’s Transitions with Purpose

“At some point in time, we see the higher purpose of why we are doing certain things.”

This reflection sets the tone for our latest episode, where we are glad to sit down with Terence Quek to hear about his journey to discovering his life purpose—and how he is living it out today.

As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, we’ve always believed that life decisions should come before money decisions—especially when it involves your hard-earned savings. Understanding what truly matters in life gives clarity to the financial decisions that follow.

Terence’s path took him from the navy to entrepreneurship. Today, he wears many hats: Founding Member and Director of Project Happy Feet, Master Associate and APAC CEO of Emergenetics, and CEO of the Singapore Institute of Directors—the list goes on. Yet, through all these roles, one thing remains constant: his desire to make a positive impact.

We hope you find his story as inspiring and meaningful as we did.
