"The friends made, the things learned and the experiences encountered during my years in SU have definitely and positively influenced my life, and for this I am very grateful to my Alma Mater."
At 78, Winston Tan Tien Hin remains one of Singapore's most active investment professionals. As the Managing Director of Corporate Brokers International Pte Ltd — dedicated to helping SMEs with the passion and potential of becoming MNCs — and founder of Winmark Investments Pte Ltd, he has spent over 30 years identifying and growing undervalued businesses through angel and private equity investments.
His approach is rooted in over two decades of corporate and investment banking experience: Vice-President at Citibank N.A. Singapore (1972–1988) and General Manager of Deutsche Bank AG Singapore Branch (1988–1996). He developed deep expertise in credit risk management and strategic corporate finance across both postings.
Beyond finance, Winston previously served on the Salvation Army Advisory Board and is a committed advocate for education and the written word, co-editing a book on the education of highly creative people and supporting Armour Publishing in its mission to produce purposeful publications since 1991. His university contemporaries may also remember the weekly folk sessions he conducted in the lecture theatres of the University of Singapore.
