LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network with over 380 million members globally, today unveiled the 2015 Power Profiles in Singapore. This is a showcase of the most-viewed CEOs and leaders across industries such as Human Resources, Finance, Internet, Technology, and Marketing and Advertising for the past year on LinkedIn.
In conjunction with the launch of this year’s Power Profiles, LinkedIn is partnering with the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) to host a series of mentorship sessions - Meet LinkedIn Power Profiles, in Partnership with NTUC – as part of the NTUC Future Leaders Programme.
“Today, an online professional brand is just as vital for the business that the individual represents. LinkedIn Power Profiles are experts in their domains, who have invested in building their professional identities by sharing their knowledge and inspiring professionals around them, making them the most viewed profiles in Singapore,” said Sandeep Suvarna, Head of Consumer Marketing, Asia Pacific for LinkedIn. “This year, we’re working with NTUC to offer other professionals in Singapore the unique opportunity to be mentored by some of these experts.”
