Our History
The Entre Club Pte Ltd started its humble roots as “The Entre Club’ in 2014 on an informal basis when a group of established entrepreneurs under the distinguished leadership of Dr Leong Horn Kee (former Member of Parliament for 22 years) decided to devote their time as part of legacy giving to groom the next generation of entrepreneurs in Singapore. It was heartening to see a rapid growth of the club taking shape and with a growing number of alumnus who had enrolled into our Entre Programmes (conducted both in English and Mandarin) since 2014.
A Step Forward in 2016
As part of its strategic focus for continued growth in 2016 and beyond, The Entre Club was formalized as The Entre Club Pte Ltd with Dr Leong Horn Kee as our Honorary Patron/Founder Chairman. The Entre Club Pte Ltd is helmed by Ms Christine Sim, who is the Executive Director.
