raiSE Fellowship Programme
Singapore Delivery Services with Fellow David Lee, an ex-McKinsey Operations Specialist
David was sharp in identifying problem areas and his guidance under the Fellowship Programme has been crucial to the success of SDS. With a sustainable business model and improved processes, we are able to bring more social impact to the beneficiaries whom we employ as drivers, enabling some of them to finally clear their debts, upgrade from rental flats to self-purchased HDB flat, increase in self-confidence, etc. A very big Thank You to raiSE and David!
