全文如下：
“Persistence has been the driving force behind my success.”
When Elsie Liow (NBS/2001) was a student growing up, she and her siblings had to squeeze into a small flat, and finances were tight. She was determined to turn her fate around by working hard.
When she was just 26, she founded her first company in Singapore which specialises in relocation services for businesses and families, helping them with legal procedures and settling in a new country.
“My proudest moment was when my first company was acquired by a renowned American private equity firm in 2013,” she said.
At a peak, By that time, the company had 14 Asia-Pacific offices with 270 employees serving clients from 15 countries.
In July 2023, Elsie founded and became Managing Director of Adepture Consulting
, another immigration and relocation firm that focuses on high net worth individuals.
Her entrepreneurial journey is not without speed bumps. Elsie experienced what she describes as “the darkest times” in her career when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. It disrupted her business expansion plans, and she had to ensure that the company was aware of the latest immigration policies and requirements, which were constantly changing during that period.
“Persistence has been the driving force behind my success, especially since entrepreneurship can sometimes be a lonely journey. With a ‘never give up’ attitude and an optimistic outlook, coupled with the support of my capable team, we managed to adapt and thrive during the pandemic. I hope to be an exemplary figure to my four children, for them to learn to be resilient and optimistic solution-seekers in their endeavours,” said Elsie.
For her strong business acumen, she has received multiple awards over the years, the most recent being the Phoenix Award at Women Entrepreneurs Award (WEA) 2023, which recognises outstanding female leaders who persevered through the pandemic and emerged stronger.

廖茹芩（南洋商学院/2001年本科毕业班）幼时家境普通，父母带着其兄弟姐妹几个一直蜗居在狭小的组屋内。那时，她幼小的心里就埋下了“靠自己改变命运”的种子。
2005年，年仅26岁的茹芩在雇员生涯中看到了移民行业的发展前景，义无反顾地创业了，主业是为企业与家庭提供移民和海外拓展服务。而就是她人生的这第一家公司，让她尝尽了创业的酸甜苦辣，同时也迎来了创业人生的第一个高峰——业务遍布亚太地区的14个办公地点，聘用270名员工，为来自15个国家的客户服务。
2013年，一家著名的美国私募股权公司收购了她的这家公司。这令廖茹芩第一次尝到创业的喜悦与自豪。
但这些荣耀并没有淹没廖茹芩的创业热情，2023年7月，Elsie又创办了一家专为全球高净值人士服务的移民与资产管理公司。
她的创业之路并非一帆风顺。疫情的来袭让茹芩经历了职业生涯中最黑暗的时期。疫情不仅打乱了拓展业务的计划，同时她和团队必须确保时时跟上不断变化的移民政策和入境要求。
她说：“坚持、再坚持是支撑我勇往直前的动力。创业的过程有时很苦、也很孤独。所幸我不言放弃、乐观向上，我也很幸运有一支很优秀的团队，陪伴我一起向前，挺过疫情，将公司越办越出色。我也希望能给我的四个孩子做好的榜样，希望他们能做事有韧劲、做人有闯劲。”
凭借敏锐的商业嗅觉，多年来，茹芩载誉无数。2023年她获颁女企业家奖
之“凤凰奖”，以表彰她在疫情期间的领导力。
