Juliana oversees SGInnovate’s national Deep Tech Central strategy – connecting Deep Tech startups and talent with resources and opportunities to grow and scale. Her work focuses on three key strategies to support Singapore’s emerging tech ecosystem: expanding and sustaining talent pipelines, driving synergistic collaboration with partners, and developing a robust data architecture to strengthen talent and ecosystem readiness.
Together with SGInnovate’s partners, Juliana and her team design and implement programmes and initiatives that integrate development, training and career opportunities with community engagement. This approach enables the team to tailor talent development and cross-sector collaboration to the specific needs of different segments of the ecosystem.
Juliana also shapes the organisation’s product and data strategy, including SGInnovate’s Deep Tech Central platform, which serves as both a community gateway to opportunities, events and jobs, and a valuable source of insights and trends shaping ecosystem development across key technology domains.
Prior to joining SGInnovate, Juliana led teams across the Human Resource function in organisations such as SP Group, NTUC First Campus (NFC), the National Heritage Board, Central Provident Fund Board and the Ministry of Education. Her experience spans areas including talent attraction, benefits and rewards, learning and development and business partnering.
Juliana holds a Bachelor of Economics (1st Class Hons) from Murdoch University and a Masters in Strategic Human Resource Management from the University of New South Wales.
