She is now part of a global team working to develop the Mastercard narrative for the New Economy.

Over the years, Ms. Tan has worked to establish Mastercard as a thought leader through the development and promotion of Mastercard’s suite of research properties, which serve as a benchmark for a myriad of economic, industry and consumer trends.

She has done this while also spearheading Mastercard’s Corporate Social Responsibility efforts – mainly education and development programs to help empower women and children across the region.

In 2005, in keeping with Mastercard’s philosophy of helping people to participate fully in the economy, she launched an index that specifically measures women’s socio-economic advancement in the Asia Pacific region – the Mastercard Index of Women’s Advancement.
