It’s that time of the year when Robb Report Singapore’s Thought Leaders community reveals the addition of new members – 30 to be exact. This community was launched in 2019, unveiling 27 founding members, and has since grown to a group of 86. While the number has risen on a yearly basis, our vision has remained consistent. Our Thought Leaders are still risk-takers in their respective industry who look beyond the horizon, tackling issues and engaging in topics that others may evade. These trailblazers aren’t afraid to voice an unpopular opinion or ask an uncomfortable question for the betterment of the world in which we live. They have an eye for the extraordinary and this leads to dynamic conversations worth having, which more often than not result in unexpected, meaningful outcomes. Here are the 30 members who are joining our Thought Leaders community this year.
Benjamin Kim
46, aviation professional
If Benjamin Kim could become a superhero, he would choose to be Superman because – he asks rhetorically – “have you seen Superman?”.
But Kim doesn’t have to dream. He’s already Superman, or at least as close to being one as humanly possible. As an aviation professional, he is part of a team of unsung heroes who carry the weight of national security on their shoulders. Like Superman, they take to the skies to ensure the safety of those back on Earth.
