Hi there!

I’m Ray Tan, and I’m excited to share a bit about my journey. I was born and raised in Singapore, and I chose the moniker “beyondtheisland” because I’ve spent many years studying, living, and working overseas. It reflects my experiences beyond Singapore, and I love sharing insights and stories from around the world with my fellow Singaporeans.

Currently, I work as the Head of Marketing for a local theater production company, where I blend strategy with creativity. With over 18 years of management experience, I’ve honed my skills in business development and operations, even leading a team of 400 in the edutainment sector.

When I’m not in the entertainment world, I write a food column for a local newspaper. I’m passionate about exploring different cuisines and cultures, and I enjoy traveling to discover new dishes. Food is truly an adventure for me!

I also love creating social media content and am always happy to collaborate with brands and personalities to amplify their stories and provide entertainment value for everyone.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in kindness. I strive to be compassionate and understanding in both my personal life and work, as I believe it makes a big difference in building positive relationships.

With my blend of business know-how, creative spirit, and friendly nature, I’m always looking for ways to inspire and connect with others in the realms of entertainment and culinary arts!
