Testimonial from Neo Gim Huay
Managing Director, Temasek Holdings
“Benedict's contribution to Kuantan in Project Beijing 2 was significant and impactful. He was thorough and reliable in his work delivery and consistently met our expectations, including putting together the valuation model of JCP, SMM and Surbana.
Despite the complexity of the transaction including the tight timelines, multiple stakeholders and protracted negotiations, he was able to operate effectively and efficiently, while maintaining a positive and calm attitude.
His commitment to client success was evident in his unwavering support for the team, even post transaction. He fulfilled our requests for data and inputs with quick turnaround time.
Benedict is definitely someone whom I would like to work with again for future transactions.”
