Our People
BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors is a team of highly experienced leaders and professionals in their respective fields, who are committed to the organisation’s cause. Many of our board members have been wish granters with Make-A-Wish Singapore for several years.
Leonard Lim is a seasoned finance professional with over two decades of experience in the asset and wealth management industry. He is currently a Partner at Azimut Global Asset Management, a Milan-listed firm managing over USD180 billion in assets, with a presence across 20 countries. Prior to this, Leonard spent 16 years at UBS, where he worked closely with clients across Asia, particularly in the family office and corporate sectors.
Beyond his professional career, Leonard has been actively involved in the community, volunteering with several children's charities and serving as a grassroots leader. He joined Make-A-Wish Singapore as a Board Advisor in 2021, contributing to both the Finance and Investment Committee and the Community Partnerships Committee.

Nuraliza oversees legal, corporate secretarial, compliance, and ethics functions as Group General Counsel at a Singapore-listed company.
She is an attorney qualified in both Singapore and New York, with over 25 years of international experience in the energy industry, including governance. Throughout her career, she has lived and worked in Singapore, London, The Netherlands, and Nigeria. In each of these countries, she actively sought out opportunities to give back, supporting children in local communities through initiatives ranging from volunteering at orphanages in Singapore and Nigeria to organising activities for children in refugee camps for Syrian migrants in The Netherlands.
While her professional journey has taken her across the globe, her home and heart remain in Singapore. She is deeply committed to supporting children in need and bringing them moments of joy in any way she can.
Nuraliza joined the Board of Make-A-Wish Singapore in 2020, having been a volunteer wish granter since its establishment in 2002. Her long-standing involvement reflects both her deep connection to the organisation and her belief in the impact of a wish.
