About the Founder & Managing Director

Managing director, Ms. Vanessa Ong was first exposed to logistics when she worked under the logistic management service department in a plastic company in 1997. She later moved on to becoming a sales manager and a director in two other companies before venturing out into her own business.

Ms. Ong had to endure many challenges during the initial stages. She faced rejection in the first six months, many being sceptical of her business and the negative reputation of China products. Additionally, there was not enough marketing done to promote her business, forcing Ms. Ong to change her tactics.

She also held herself accountable to every proceeding which included bringing the materials to clients, allowing them to see it first-hand and providing one-stop solutions to her clients. Gernise Global stands out on the fact that Ms. Ong is sincere in building relationship with her clients, having a “can help – will help” attitude as well as her extensive area of expertise.

“Since I have a small business with a small workforce, and since we don’t sell anything online, do I need a website?”

The answer is YES! If you have a business, you should have a website to avoid losing business to competitors that already have one.

王爱妮(Vanessa Ong) 是本地薄膜公司Gernise Global Pte Ltd 总裁,也是环保企业Mama Shop发起人;,拿下本地代理权,发展美容保健事业 。

薄膜产业向来是男人的天下,拍摄后我问她,打拼多年是否觉得男女待遇不同。她说:“大家或许认同女性主事者,但多少都会认为女性主事者只是陪衬,背后依然得靠丈夫支撑。我因工作需要常出差到中国、印度尼西亚等, 曾在某些国家受到性别歧视。比如顾客要求见我老板。在他们眼里,老板一般都是男性老板。我花了好多时间证明男生能做的我也可以,包括应酬,喝酒等。多年来,我终于获得他们的认同和肯定,也建立了哥儿般的关系。”

Glyken Group is also the proud owner of the world’s largest birdnest biotech park and sole pioneer in birdnest extraction technology. Brainchild of well-known universities from Singapore & Malaysia with 3 years of research and over 6 years of constant improvement, its findings from birdnest extract - Active Glycoprotein Peptide, is immensely beneficial for overall well-being.

Glyken aims to realize their mission of transforming birdnest and its nutritional value by continuously focusing on innovative application research and development of new generation of birdnest products, such as its product series - Glyken S, A, M, P, and C, which is conveniently packed in sachet form and seeks to improve various health concerns.
