The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has announced the appointment of Tamara Singh as Managing Director, Singapore and Senior Adviser, Regional Programmes, effective 1 April 2025. Singh will spearhead TNC’s initiatives to enhance climate action and conservation impact from Singapore, leveraging its strategic position as a hub for innovation and partnerships.
Singh brings over 20 years of experience in energy, finance, and sustainability, having worked with major firms such as Centrica, BP, Deutsche Bank, and Macquarie Bank. Since returning to Singapore in 2012, she has led digital transformation and sustainable finance initiatives. Her role will involve accelerating Nature-based Solutions (NbS) across Asia-Pacific and globally, aligning with Singapore’s 2030 Green Plan.
Will McGoldrick, Regional Managing Director, Asia-Pacific at TNC, stated, “Tamara’s appointment strengthens TNC’s ability to drive tangible climate action and conservation impact across Asia-Pacific. Her expertise in sustainable finance and ability to bridge the private and public sectors will be invaluable.”
Singh expressed her commitment, saying, “Joining one of the world’s most respected conservation organisations at a time when the need for bold, science-driven climate action has never been more urgent is both an honour and a responsibility.”
TNC’s programme in Singapore, established in late 2022, focuses on catalysing NbS and carbon markets, fostering research collaborations, and supporting regional corporate partnerships. In 2023, TNC joined the Southeast Asia Climate and Nature-based Solutions Coalition to accelerate high-quality, triple-benefit NbS projects across the region. Singh’s leadership is expected to further these efforts, reinforcing Singapore’s role as a global conservation and climate finance hub.
