Corporate job vs Entrepreneurship? Can businesses be environmentally friendly yet sustainable? How to balance being a mother and a CEO? As a banker turned entrepreneur and a mother of one, Bonnie is the CEO of Icicle Group, a cross-media marketing and creative production company that is driving sustainable practices in the industry, which makes her the perfect person to answer all these questions.

“My growth might appear to be slower than my banking peers, but it’s very solid.”

Says Bonnie when she reflects on her journey, and shares with us how being genuine is the key in choosing a path for yourself. To encourage sustainable practices, a permanent recycled paper exhibition will be opened soon at the Icicle office.
