Evelyn Goh

CFP®, ACTS

Deputy CEO &
Chief Advisory Officer

Evelyn entered the financial industry as a fresh graduate in 1995, and has experienced the full commissions as well as the fee-based model of providing advice. With a strong personal value of seeking to do what is right, she joined Providend in 2001 as one of the founding members to provide unbiased advice despite the obvious challenge of pure fees, no commissions model being uncharted waters in Singapore. The past 19 years has been a very fulfilling career for Evelyn where she has progressed from advising middle-aged professionals to clients in their retiring phase and now working with the second generation to ensure the smooth transfer of wealth, and more importantly, the legacy retained. She finds great satisfaction and fulfilment in helping clients sort out their financial affairs and gaining clarity over their goals, thus empowering them to live out their purpose and what truly give meaning and joy in life.

Being the Deputy CEO, Evelyn is part of the Senior Management team responsible for the strategic growth and development of the company. As Chief Advisory Officer, Evelyn works with her team to ensure high advisory standards as well as develop thought leadership and tools that will bring even greater value to our family of clients. Evelyn counts it her blessing to be part of a very passionate and competent team at Providend and having benefited from great mentors, now seek to pay it forward to groom the younger leaders in the firm.

Chief Executive Officer

Hence, he started his financial career with an insurance company in Singapore, thinking that it would provide him with the relevant skills as a wealth adviser.

Professionally, Christopher is a Certified Financial Planner and a member of the Financial Planning Association of Singapore. He sat on the Management Committee of Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (SIAS) from 2009 to 2017 and in 2014 was appointed by the Singapore Government to be part of the CPF Advisory Panel.
