About

Reginald is Director of Partnerships at Grow Asia, a multi-stakeholder partnership platform that catalyzes action on inclusive agricultural development in South-East Asia.

Grow Asia was established by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the ASEAN Secretariat. Reginald is responsible for supporting and strengthening Grow Asia?s five Country Partnerships, identifying and bringing together partners, and facilitating them as they collaborate. In doing so, the Country Partnerships and their Working Groups become platforms that increasingly converge development efforts focused on smallholders, deliver results at scale, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
