Ann Moey of the TBI explains strategic government advising


In her current position, Moey is responsible for mobilising support from philanthropists, foundations and family offices in Asia, particularly Singapore. While TBI is well established globally, its initiatives in Asia are relatively new. “Donors and philanthropists here are more familiar with working with organisations, NGOs and not‑for‑profit organisations that work directly with vulnerable communities,” she says. “What we do is slightly different, as we’re working at the highest levels of government. The impact, while not immediately seen, will be felt by citizens on the ground, who benefit from good governance and policies. The outcome at the end of the day is long‑term transformational change.”

Touching on TBI’s commitment to integrating technology solutions across key sectors, including education, healthcare, climate change and poverty alleviation, Moey highlights its particular focus on healthcare in Asia, bringing up significant initiatives such as the Digital Health Transformation Strategy in Indonesia, which has already brought about benefits. “In Indonesia, the advantages of digitalisation are already evident,” she notes. “In the past, doctors had to manually write medical records and send them across the hospital, but now, everything is digitalised, including the pharmacy, making healthcare more efficient and manageable for all stakeholders.”
