Lillian Chen
Associate Director, Technology
My Background
I'm a people leader and an experienced executive search professional specialising in digital, technology, fintech, and crypto/blockchain industries. With a proven track record in Singapore and global markets (APAC, EMEA, North America, and LATAM), I bring extensive experience to my role.
My career spans roles with both a UK-listed recruitment group and a boutique start-up, where I partnered with businesses at various stages of their journey—from early start-ups and fast-growing companies to unicorns, pre-IPO ventures, and global expansion projects. My advisory approach supports growth, change, and localisation strategies tailored to my clients' unique needs.
Roles I Recruit For
I focus on C-suite, C-1, VP, and Director-level roles within digital technology, fintech, and crypto/blockchain industries.
Outside of Ambition
Outside of work, I’m passionate about fitness, enjoy hiking, and consider myself a coffee enthusiast.

I have always enjoyed our professional interactions. Lillian is a highly experienced and respected expert in the industry. She demonstrates great initiative in seeking out top candidates in the market and takes the time to understand their needs in order to match them with the right opportunities.
CEO, B2C Digital Technology Industry -
Lillian is great at what she does because at all times she makes you feel like she is your advocate, which is an incredibly valuable thing to convey in her position and industry. I look forward to working with her again in the future, either as a hirer or as a candidate.
Head of North America Publishing, Gaming Industry -
Lilian had successfully driven to conclusion my current senior position with a global top 4 crypto company. She had been caring, personal, and dedicated from the first call explaining the position to the last compensation negotiation stage. I was impressed by her in-depth knowledge of the company, interviewers, and real dynamics of the position.
Head of All Global Regions, Crypto Industry -
Lillian's a highly professional recruiter. Cordial, succinct and a pleasure to work with, especially with a smile that's always readily charming. She also dives deep to research the backgrounds of her clients, understanding their roadmap, business model, identify differentiators, etc. (which is a hard thing to do especially in Web3).
CTO, Web3/Blockchain Industry -
Lillian is a great partner to work with. She is not only very knowledgeable and experienced in her work, but also genuinely care about others and goes above and beyond to ensure the success and well-being of her clients. Lillian certainly sets a high bar and I would highly recommend anyone who is in need to partner with her.
VP of Global Expansion, Fintech Industry
