I met Tim during his days in Aviva Singapore. Tim, as a buy-side client at that time, was always full of warmth in those business meetings. He was very engaging and down-to-earth. The meetings were never dreary. They were punctuated with good-natured banter about work and he took it upon himself to know everyone on the other side of the table. Subsequently, he joined an investor trip that I organised to Manila. It was fun travelling with someone whose presence lighted up the meeting room. Coffee breaks were filled with laughter too as he spoke about his experience working in Asia. Another memorable event was an evening of company-sponsored go-karting bliss during the Grand Prix festivities in Singapore.
Over the recent 18 months of working in the EMD team, I see in Tim a fantastic leader, colleague and friend. Tim was always thoughtful to check on his team members, despite the distance, that we were holding up well. His personal touch shone through. A week before his passing, he expressed his wish about travelling to Singapore soon to meet the rest of his team once again.
To Suzie, Ollie, Leo - Tim will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. Wishing you peace, comfort and strength. And you will, as Tim does, continue to have many friends in this part of the world.
