CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO

Feon Ng’s leadership journey at Linkedin has been marked by a strong commitment to empowering women. Her passion for gender equality and her ability to inspire others have led her to play a pivotal role in various initiatives aimed at supporting the professional development of women.

“I think I am more of a vocal but kind leader. I also believe that a good leader is a good follower. I understand what our global initiatives are, and can figure out how to make it right for our region,” she shares.

Recognising the challenges faced by young women in the workplace, Feon established the Empowerin mentorship programme to provide guidance, support and opportunities for professional development. Over the years, this initiative has helped nearly 200 female leaders expand their networks and advance their careers. In 2022, the programme expanded globally, reaching teams in North America and the UK.

NEVER TAKING “NO” FOR AN ANSWER

From a young age, Feon was known for her inquisitive nature. A simple “no” would ignite a spark of curiosity within her, driving her to seek answers and uncover the reasons behind the restrictions placed upon her.

Growing up in a kampung in Yio Chu Kang, she encountered numerous instances where girls were discouraged from participating in certain activities, like climbing trees and playing by the stream.

Rather than accepting these limitations without question, she challenged them, demanding to know why she was being denied the same opportunities as boys her age.

“I’d be curious to know why it is a ‘no’. I just need to know why, so I can accept the answer. But if the reason given is because a girl should behave in a certain way, I find that hard to accept,” she shares.
