The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has named Tamara Singh as its new Managing Director, Singapore and Senior Advisor, Regional Programs.
Singh will lead TNC‘s efforts to drive climate action and conservation impact from Singapore, leveraging its strategic position as a hub for innovation, partnerships, science, and fundraising to accelerate climate and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) across Asia-Pacific and globally.
Singh brings over two decades of experience in energy, finance, and sustainability, having worked at Centrica, BP, Deutsche Bank, and Macquarie Bank in London, New York, and Asia-Pacific. Since returning to Singapore in 2012, she has led digital transformation initiatives and sustainable finance initiatives in various capacities. She also advises on corporate transition towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a Sherpa for APEC’s Asia-Pacific Financial Forum Sustainable Finance Development Network and is a member of the Global Finance & Technology Network.
“Tamara’s appointment strengthens TNC’s ability to drive tangible climate action and conservation impact across Asia-Pacific,” said Will McGoldrick, Regional Managing Director, Asia-Pacific at TNC. “As we scale solutions to address the world’s most pressing environmental challenges, her deep expertise in sustainable finance and proven ability to bridge the private and public sectors will be invaluable. Tamara’s leadership will be crucial in accelerating our 2030 goals while reinforcing Singapore’s position as a global conservation and climate finance hub.”
“Joining one of the world’s most respected conservation organizations at a time when the need for bold, science-driven climate action has never been more urgent is both an honor and a responsibility,” said Singh. “TNC’s collaborative approach, grounded in science and innovation, has made a tangible difference in tackling some of the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges. I look forward to working alongside our partners to drive nature-positive solutions that protect our planet and its people.”
The Nature Conservancy established its program in Singapore in late 2022 as a global center for innovation, partnerships, and science to scale up conservation and climate impact across the region and support Singapore in achieving its 2030 Green Plan. The program focuses on four key priorities: catalyzing NbS and carbon markets, fostering research collaborations, innovating impact finance solutions, and supporting regional corporate partnerships.
