Peggy Ang

FP&A Lead for APAC
National Instruments, Singapore

"I believe in the collective exchange of ideas, that none of us is as smart as all of us, even if it means agreeing to disagree or managing discourse in the process. Being able to interact regularly on FP&A issues or macro environment factors that have an impact on the profession, helps challenge my thoughts." Read more.
