Founder & Principal, The Thousand Ships
Building cross-border platforms at the intersection of sustainability, infrastructure, trade, property and technology.
From Singapore into ASEAN and beyond, my work increasingly centres on bringing people, capital, technology and opportunities together around projects that can create lasting commercial and social value.
Building beyond a single business.
The Thousand Ships began as an idea: that businesses, communities, technology and capital can be connected to solve problems that no single company can address alone. Today, that idea is developing across circular infrastructure, real estate and residency networks, regional trade, technology and strategic partnerships. The work is executed through iMerv Digital Pte. Ltd. and its growing network of partners and project platforms.
What I build. What I learn. What I believe. MARVINFOO is where I document that journey.
