He was trained in business management at the National University of Singapore and went on to pursue his PhD in management at the University of Pittsburgh under an NUS Overseas Scholarship.

Driven by his Christian faith, Gilbert’s research interests focus on leadership and organisational creativity, spirituality at work and corporate social responsibility. Gilbert has published journal articles, book chapters and teaching cases.  As well, he has participated consistently in international conferences.

Beyond his professional commitment to training and development, both in executive education and consultancy, Gilbert volunteers actively with non-profit and Christian organisations in the area of social innovation and Christian entrepreneurship.
