Google Co-Founder's Family Office Hires Sustainability Figure In Singapore – Report
The appointment, if confirmed, speaks to how Singapore is both an important international hub for family offices, and putting itself forward as a centre for green finance.
The family office of Google co-founder Sergey Brin has reportedly
hired the former head of sustainability for Singapore’s sovereign
wealth fund to help find and manage green investments.
Bloomberg (11 March) said that Rachel Teo has
joined Bayshore
Global Management at its Singapore office established in
2020.
Teo worked for 18 years at GIC Pte until last August, when she
left the Singapore fund, according to her Linkedin
profile.
This publication has contacted Bayshore and may
update this report in due course. It hadn’t received a reply at
the time of going to press. Bloomberg said Bayshore
chief investment officer Marie Young, who helped found the
Singapore office, didn’t reply to an email seeking comment.
As well as being a hub
for family offices, Singapore, like its major peers, is
putting forward its
green investment credentials.
