About the Guests

#2: Darice Wong

Highly described as a self-motivated person with a strong passion for learning, Darice has been intrigued by product management ever since she was first exposed to it during her time in the NUS Overseas Colleges (NOC) Programme where she was a UX Design and Product intern. Her portfolio of experiences after that speaks for itself - including completing two different stints at GovTech to establish her expertise in UI/UX design. Beyond UI/UX design, she was also an active contributor in various student communities in NUS, including serving as a Residential Assistant at NUS ENterprise House (N-House), as well as previously being the Publicity Director of NUS Economics Society. As our club’s Head of Operations, Darice leads the Operations Team to manage the administrative processes and finances of our club.

#3: Jane Wong

As an Economics major who did not hail from a technical background, this did not stop Jane from her pursuit of a career in product management. Previously an investment analyst at GFR Fund, a San Francisco-based venture capital fund, Jane realised the importance of being a product-led organisation, which inspired her further in taking on product roles in her subsequent internships, before focusing on her full-time PM role after her recent graduation. Despite her short commitment as our inaugural Head of Partnerships for one semester, Jane’s contributions in establishing our fireside chats with full-time PMs will be highly valued when our club intends to build future collaborative opportunities in the long run. Jane is presently working as a full-time Product Manager at Parcel Perform, a tech start-up in the logistics and supply chain industry.
