#2025.7.1 Farewell to AXP Friends
Dear all,
Having crossed paths and worked alongside many of you in various parts of the box over the past few years, I’m writing to say goodbye — with gratitude and reflection. It’s been a meaningful chapter in my personal journey, and I thank you for being part of it.
Corporate life teaches me (and perhaps most of us) to mask — to speak in ways that don’t offend, to navigate ambiguity and web of relations with caution. But that comes with a cost. I’ve contributed my fair share of “corporate speak”, and I’ve come to realise: there may be no single truth, only layers of perception and competing narratives facilitated by talented story tellers.
Yuval Harari once said: “questions you cannot answer are usually far better for you than answers you cannot question.” This resonates deeply with me. I’m learning to sit with uncertainty, to question familiar patterns — and to accept that my values are evolving and it’s okay not to have all the answers.
I hope we all find our way to adapt to the world in which we live, and protect independent thinking space via constructing your own project guardian – using the hottest term :) We are surrounded by fictions, structural bias, and polarized mediation — it’s worth pausing to ask which ones we choose to live by. As for me, I’m still unlearning and exploring where I’d be willing and able to contribute.
Thank you for the conversations, the inspirations, and the silent acts of grace I’ve witnessed in many of you. I’ll carry that with me.
Wishing you all meaningful journeys — within and beyond your career. Life has a way of bringing people back around. If you’d like to stay connected, here’s where to find me:
