Siew Ting Foo: Leading with Purpose

Siew Ting Foo: Leading with Purpose

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM February 21, 2025 Duration: 19:49

In this episode of Women Influencers, I had the pleasure of interviewing Siew Ting Foo, Asia's most influential and purposeful CMO. Siew Ting is a global Fortune 100 executive and a leader in human-centric transformational growth. She shares her journey from growing up in Singapore in a family that valued education, discipline, and the arts to becoming a seasoned leader in marketing with roles at Unilever, Mars, Diageo, Fonterra, and HP.

Siew Ting emphasizes the importance of purpose in leadership. She explains how discovering her purpose over 15 years ago reshaped her approach to leadership and team dynamics. She’s dedicated to inspiring future generations of female and marketing leaders, even publishing a book titled Building Brands with Soul. Her leadership is deeply rooted in her personal values of humility, resilience, and authenticity.

In addition to her professional achievements, Siew Ting shared her personal journey of overcoming self-doubt and childhood insecurities. She talks about how these early challenges motivated her to excel in leadership and marketing, but also how she learned to shift from a mindset of fear to one of abundance and self-love.

“Take time to find your purpose." - Siew Ting Foo

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries. It’s a series dedicated to amplifying voices that not only succeed but also thoughtfully pave the way for others.
