Melissa Tan leads Wah & Hua (WH) as CEO, spearheading and implementing its business development initiatives. She transformed the business from a traditional family-run small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) to a corporatized medium enterprise.

One of the milestones that she led WH to achieve was to secure deals with foreign companies to provide a comprehensive solution to diversify and grow exponentially.

She has also assumed the role of Chairman of the Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore since 2013. In this position, she champions the association’s efforts to enhance the professionalism and technological capabilities of the waste management industry in Singapore, with an aim to impact the society’s view on sustainability.
