This group CEO of Kingsland Development shows the strength of femininity in a male dominated industry.
Some women wear power suits to show they mean business. But Shann Sok, group CEO of Kingsland Development, doesn’t care for those conventions. An adventurous dresser, she professes a love for statement jewellery made of coloured gems and has no qualms experimenting with fashion.
“It is the substance that counts, not the clothes,” says Sok, who rocks up to our meeting at Kingsland Data Centre in a feminine lace Three Floor cocktail number and Ferragamo heels, topped off with bold yellow sapphire earrings and an emerald ring. “I dress for myself, not others. It is about setting the mood for myself, as long as what I’m wearing is respectful. Plus, being youthful and fashionable add life and colour to a meeting full of suits,” she says.
