Elida Wong is a seasoned business leader with over three decades of experience spanning marketing, brand building, and general management across FMCG and premium beauty.

She began her career in the early 1990s, holding key account and marketing roles at PepsiCo, Pokka Coffee, and Thong Thye, before a transformative 10-year journey with Lancôme, where she progressed from trade marketing manager to brand manager.

In 2011, Wong took a purposeful pause to focus on motherhood while founding and operating an education centre, deepening her expertise in child psychology and learning development.

Passionate about growth and purpose, Wong is committed to empowering women to become the best version of themselves through confidence, self-discovery, and meaningful impact.
