Career

Millie consults with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and business families, particularly those in Asia, in the area of global estate planning, involving inter-generational wealth transfer, asset protection, capital preservation, business governance and succession. In the terminology of holistic planning, wealth is defined to also include intangible “assets” such as the family identity, vision, values, and traditions. In addition to planning for protection and preservation of assets, Millie works with families to establish strategies and processes to promote family governance, and maintain family unity, identity and integrity. For this purpose, Millie travels regularly in Asia and works in synergy with an extensive contact base of bankers and offshore service providers for trusts, foundations and corporations.

Millie speaks regularly at private briefings and seminars, both abroad and locally, for bankers, prospective clients and other interested groups, on holistic global estate planning and business succession. She is also engaged to conduct training and master classes in this area.

Millie currently sits on the board of QL Resources Berhad as a non-executive independent director. Millie is also the Senior Consultant of Borden Lander Gervais LLP, a national law firm in Canada, and she is the founder of Legacy 127 Consulting Inc.

Millie is fluent in English, Mandarin and Malay, and conversant in Cantonese and Hakka, as well as (minimally) Hokkien.
