Chan Xin Yi

Xin Yi joined the financial services industry in 2019 after making a bold transition from engineering. During her three-and-a-half years in the field, she often felt uncertain about her career path, questioning whether the same routine was what she wanted for the next four decades. A pivotal moment came when she observed the trajectory of her then-supervisor — a realisation that prompted her to reflect on the future she truly wanted and gave her the courage to pursue a different path.

Today, Xin Yi is living proof that even an introverted engineer can thrive in sales and leadership. She believes that success in this career is not determined by personality, background or initial confidence, but by effort, consistency and the willingness to grow.

For Xin Yi, recruitment is about helping individuals gain clarity, confidence and the space to discover what they truly want for themselves. She believes deeply in building people before results, and measures success by the growth of her team and the lives they are building, both professionally and personally.

What inspires Xin Yi most is transformation — witnessing individuals overcome self-doubt, grow into their potential and eventually uplift others. At the heart of her philosophy is a belief she often shares- sometimes, you are only one decision away from a completely different life.
