BLOCK71 Dinner Club: Off The Record with Keith Yap
BLOCK71 Dinner Club is a series of small group dinners for NUS students under the Student Entrepreneurship Community (SEC) initiative. The series is designed for honest, off-the-record conversations with experienced entrepreneurs, investors and those within the start-up ecosystem.
For this edition, we’re joined by Keith Yap.
Keith Yap is the Host of The Front Row Podcast and an ex-civil servant turned media entrepreneur. His podcast curates thoughtful conversations with some of Asia’s most influential minds, including Chua Kee Lock (CEO of Vertex Holdings), Magnus Grimeland (Founder and CEO of Antler) and Minister Ong Ye Kung. His conversations explore a range of topics, from China–U.S. relations to economic policy in Singapore.
Before launching The Front Row, Keith spent three years at Enterprise Singapore, where he was a Development Partner. He also serves as Vice Chairman of Impart, a non-profit that pioneers volunteer-driven community solutions to enable transformative youth development in Singapore. A graduate of Yale-NUS College and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Keith champions the idea that Singapore can become the intellectual capital of Southeast Asia.
