Chief Executive Officer, Salamander Advisory Service
Chief Executive Officer
Ivy believes in creating a positive working environment and in developing people as she stewards Halogen’s resources to achieve the larger youth impact goals. Essentially a Chief Everything Officer, she focuses on seeking new partners, funders, and contributors who can enable Halogen’s mission and work. Ivy also enjoys running to clear her head, taking one too many pictures of the skies and flora in her free time. If there ever was a workplace marathon, she’d be in the first place.
Head of Operations
Lydia ensures smooth collaboration between departments within our organisation – she is the go-to person for problem-solving across departments. Whether it is tackling administrative processes or leading changes in how we work, Lydia keeps our operations running smoothly. With her eye for detail and talent for bringing people together, Lydia connects different parts of our organisation, ensuring we are all working towards the same goals. A known egg enthusiast, she always looks at things sunny side up. If she is not busy optimising processes, you can find her creating travel packing lists or out cycling in nature to soothe her soul.
Head of Corporate Office
Mansha handles all financial matters at Halogen, ensuring checks and balances are in place. She believes that one need not be in the frontlines to make a difference in society. We all can contribute in our own small ways. She likes to exchange life stories with others or just be a couch potato if she manages to get time away from her 3 ‘angels’ at home.
Head of Community
Linda manages partnerships with Halogen’s volunteers and drives outreach efforts through recruitment, engagement and development. She believes that the people and community is the backbone of the organisation. Outside of work, Linda likes to immerse herself in nature and her little garden to recharge herself.
Head of Communications
Jon spent years making those little Internet banners that followed you from site to site. Realising life’s too short to only sell clicks, he decided to put his energy into something more lasting — helping the next generation find their way. These days, when he is not wrangling youth programmes, he is wrangling laundry, pots, or the mop at home. If there is a rare pocket of free time, he's probably reading a comic book or drawing pictures of Spider-Man.
Head of Academy
Chloe coordinates the Entrepreneurship Programme in Halogen by bringing together different stakeholders from Corporate Volunteers to Educators, helping to build an ecosystem for our youths to activate their entrepreneurial mindsets and thrive. Being able to create meaningful connections with people from different walks of life is what Chloe values most about being on the entrepreneurship team. She loves hearing from others and understanding what they believe in. Besides having meaningful conversations with others, her enthusiasm extends to fluffy cats & photo walks, alongside all things chocolate, no matter the occasion.
Head of Accelerator
Xena spends most of her time in training rooms with young people, she hopes to let them see and believe in the influence they possess to own their narrative. Xena toggles different hats from curriculum development to volunteer management and youth-led projects. You will also occasionally catch her popping up like a ball of energy on Halogen’s Social Media channels! Netflix and Disney+ are her favourite apps after work while clocking in a few boxes of chocolates beside her hamster and bunny. If not, you will probably find her on the beach with her notebook doodling away.
