Business career

Since 1996, the group has developed beauty spas and food stores that expanded internationally to over 100 outlets. It currently focuses on London and other parts of the world to develop new businesses[6][7] partly because Chua understands that Singapore presents a limited market[8] that could restrict consistent growth in her business lines.[9][10] In 2016, Chua made investments in local farming taking a specific interest on consumption patterns and lifestyle choices.[11]

Background

Chua holds a bachelor's degree in economics and statistics from the National University of Singapore. Chua previously worked in a bank and was a property agent. In 2002, she developed Singapore's first dedicated waxing salon named Strip, which has over 37 stores in the region.[12] She was a member of the school advisory committee (2013/14) of Temasek Polytechnic.[13]
