Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer
Co-Founder & FinTech Lead
Joel comes with extensive experience leading strategic communications initiatives in the finance and technology space – working with organisations primarily in the finance and fintech space.
He believes impactful PR is rooted in a deep understanding of the macro forces shaping our world. Joel works with clients to dissect macroeconomic and industry trends, and transform them into powerful narratives that allow clients to share their stories.
At his previous agency, he built an entire fintech PR practice from ground up – onboarding clients in the fintech space, while developing his team’s capabilities to service technical Web3 and crypto accounts.
Joel’s expertise also lies in creating frameworks for public listings, go-to-market strategies for global business expansion and crisis communications – having counselled clients during global crises such as the disappearance of MH370, the mass recall of Takata airbags and the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
Before Redhill, Joel worked at Wachsman where he focused exclusively on clients in the Web3 space. His job scope went beyond traditional communications and touched on management consulting and strategic advisory. Prior to that, he worked at RICE Singapore before relocating to Beijing and Hong Kong to support the company’s overseas expansion into Greater China.
Some clients he has counseled include: Standard Chartered (SC Ventures), UOB FinLab, Saxo, Moomoo, Syfe, Beep Technologies (Voltality), Singapore Business Federation, Volkswagen Group Singapore, SoftBank Ventures, Vertex Holdings, R3, Block.one, Prime Minister’s Office (COP27), Zilliqa Capital and many more!
Marion focuses on leading the firm’s Corporate and ESG practice, and fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for all employees to thrive.
Marion is a seasoned communications professional with broad experience that spans across industries and disciplines. She has represented high-profile multinational companies, startups and government agencies in numerous sectors including B2B, professional services, energy, education, technology and industrial markets, with a focus on thought leadership, corporate reputation building and integrated communications.
Prior to TriOn & Co, Marion completed her tenure at multiple agencies including Burson-Marsteller (now known as BCW), Redhill and Fifth Ring specialising in B2B, corporate and government communications. Some of her past clients include COP27 for the Singapore Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Law Singapore, National Youth Council, Schneider Electric, People’s Association, Energy Market Authority and DBS Bank, among others.
