Gillian Tee, founder, and CEO of Homage
Motivation has never been in short supply for Gillian Tee, founder, and CEO of Homage. While the business of caregiving is a potentially burgeoning one given the ticking time bomb of a global ageing population, Tee’s sense of purpose is far more personal. Having co-founded the award-winning behavioural change technology solution, Rocketrip, Tee realised that the next phase of her growth lay back home. It was a chance to reconcile with the personal struggles of her youth and use the experience to create meaningful change.
What set you on this path?
I want to be part of building something that can apply to people’s lives in a way that is meaningful to me. I get very motivated, particularly with vulnerable groups.
Sometimes things have to happen in your life to have a huge impact. I had a caregiver who took care of me and she was someone I loved deeply. She passed on when I was 11. There were certain childhood troubles that I went through as my family was going through a tough time.
Given your success overseas, what prompted you to come home?
