Joining Grab nearly seven years ago was a leap into the start-up world for me. Working here provided more than just a challenge; it allowed me to dive into hands-on and operational tasks, broadening my scope from tax advisory to M&A and corporate finance. What makes Grab special for me is not just the professional growth but the lasting friendships formed.

I'm part of the SOX Compliance team working under the CFO office here at Grab. The dynamic nature of Grab's evolving business keeps me on my toes, posing new challenges every day. But, these challenges allowed me to grow into a senior role, and each day, I continue to learn and shape my career. The main thing that stands out to me about Grab is the diverse and friendly team. Even though we mostly collaborate online, everyone is driven to work as a close-knit team. We share office days and have offsites that are filled with activities to strengthen our bond!
