Dawn leads CWR’s engagements to help companies and sectors navigate the fast-evolving risk landscape. With a decade at CWR, she has not only helped build the brand but has amassed a deep understanding of the complex, interlinked and compounding water risks. Her access to global water leaders, CEOs, IPCC lead authors also gives her unique insights into the challenges in ensuring water security in a changing climate. She has helped Asian conglomerates, global fashion brands and food MNCs unpack and assess water risks as well as advised them on risk mitigation and stewardship strategies, including achieving water positive targets. Her research to help brands and Chinese manufacturers move towards a clean and circular future has even inspired the fashion industry to create a new wastewater tool. Dawn is a frequent keynote, panelist and moderator and her work can be found in publications by the UN and the International Journal of Water Resources Development, among others. She can also be found on Channel News Asia as well as the SIWW Water Leaders Interview Series where she steers the high-level conversations on the future of water. Prior to CWR, Dawn worked at a global investment bank. She is a global citizen that was born and bred in Hong Kong and now based in Singapore where she can often be found out on the water doing standup paddling, wing foiling and more.
