Nichol Ng

Chief Executive Officer at X-Inc

Speaker

Nichol Ng is CEO and Managing Director of X-Inc Pte Ltd, the parent of a group of companies that has been in the food business since the 1930s. She oversees a dynamic team of 70 employees, more than 5,000 products and over 4,500 customers. Together, the companies bring to life dreams in the food ecosystem – from foodservice and retail to logistics and property.

Her passion for food as well as desire to deliver service with a heart drove Nichol to acquire, rebrand and restructure the family business in May 2007.

Prior to this, she was a Marketing Executive of MediaCorp Radio Pte Ltd where she was part of the team in charge of rebranding all the MediaCorp radio stations, including Class 95, Y.E.S 933, Perfect 10 987, and Gold 90.

In 2012, Nichol co-founded The Food Bank Singapore, a charity which redistributes excess foods to more than 370 non-profit organisations that reach out to more than 300,000 underprivileged.

For her effort in feeding the needy, Nichol was named as one of the 10 honourees in The Peak magazine’s The Peak Power List 2016 and listed in Forbes Asia’s 2017 Heroes of Philanthropy and Harper’s Bazaar’s The Power List 2018. In 2021, she was the Southeast Asia honouree of the YPO Global Impact Award Regional, which recognises young CEOs for their impact outside of YPO, celebrating CEO impact that is both sustainable and scalable. X-Inc has also been recognized as a CHAMPION OF GOOD since 2018. She has leadership roles and is actively involved in various local and global organisations:

• Board Member of The Singapore Science Centre
• Chairperson of Playeum Ltd
• Executive Committee member of ONE(SINGAPORE)
• 1st Vice President of The St Nicholas Girls' School Alumnae Association
• Treasurer of International Women's Federation
• Board Member of Tan Tock Seng Neurology Department Medifund Board
• Board Member of UN Global Compact Network Singapore
• Member of The Singapore Institute of Directors

More than just being a successful businesswoman, Nichol is happily married to her partner of 28 years and believes that the best legacy to leave her four children (from ages 6 to 13) is not money but her values.
