The measure of who we are is how we react to something that does not go our way.

Having been an investor and operator for 20 years, I’ve experienced first-hand challenges that companies face as they scale! I decided to start my own entrepreneurial journey so that I could build my own team around shared values and better understand what our founders go through every day.and also share some sleepless nights

I believe in an action-oriented, candid and trust-based approach where we can talk about anything.   including my slight tendency to be late

Working with passionate teams and meeting inspiring founders is the best part of my day.

I am an intrepid adventurer and love most water sports involving wind & waves, as well as exploring new places with my partner.

Living life experientially!

Having dabbled in derivatives trading, investment banking and entrepreneurship, 15 years of experience has taught me the intricacies of building and scaling businesses.  being a consumer tech founder myself helped

I love working with founders who are solving exciting challenges and trying to realize their own vision. The highly energetic team at Venturi helps me constantly develop, evolve and grow.

I’m an unwavering dreamer, chasing what can be. A trained classical dancer and avid cyclist, you might find me exploring new hobbies when not working with our founders and teams.  evolution is the only constant as they say

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Love what you do, success will follow.

Surrounded by extraordinary entrepreneurs, inspiring colleagues and getting to know our well accomplished investors - being a part of Venturi since the beginning has been an incredible experience.  and at times a ride

My 14 years in fund management and extensive experience in emerging markets helps me in ensuring precision and efficiency on all operational fronts, and enabling the success of the team. I am determined and optimistic.occasionally spirited, some might say fiesty

Keeping active and exploring the outdoors with my family is my jam - and travelling, travelling, travelling!   X 20

You have to work hard to put yourself in a position to be lucky.

Having studied and worked across India, Southeast Asia and the US, my experience at the drawing board of a start-up and the board room of corporates has taught me the challenges of building a global business.

My love for investing and passion for discovering audacious brands is what led me to Venturi. I enjoy working alongside a team that has a long-term ownership mindset and a values-driven culture. I am a constant learner and committed to doing all that I can for our inspiring founders and contributing to a better future. ask me where to get the best acai bowl in Singapore

I am a Deliveroo ninja! And a die-hard F1 fan! You can often find me wake surfing with friends in the morning or trying to find the best pizza joint with my partner at night.  dough to cheese to sauce ratio

Experience is the teacher that grants wisdom in a single line.

Eric Woo is a Senior Associate at Venturi Partners and is actively involved across all stages of investment, including sourcing to execution. My passion for investing has been forged over a multitude of experiences, spanning energy and minerals investment banking, late-stage unicorn investments, to working with early-stage tech founders on fundraising and strategy. Now focused on consumer growth opportunities across India and Southeast Asia, nothing excites me more than being able to step into the shoes of the end user and work with visionary founders who are transforming the way people experience life.

Outside of the office, I love keeping active in the outdoors, whether through team sports such as rugby or soaking up the sun with a frisbee in hand. I am an avid reader of science fiction and serial consumer of tech gadgets, board games, and plane tickets.

Numbers are temporary. Capability is permanent.

Over the last 18 years, I have been fortunate to work across consumer categories and business models, often as an intrapreneur; building, transforming, and scaling businesses from within. That journey has shaped my belief that strategy only truly matters when it’s paired with execution and strong teams on the ground.

Working across diverse businesses has given me the adaptability to think differently about models, markets, and the unique challenges each industry presents. I bring an entrepreneurial mindset with a strong execution bias, and I care deeply about building high-performance teams anchored in ownership, accountability, and trust.

At Venturi, I get the opportunity to partner with founders and leadership teams who are building ambitious consumer brands and are committed to creating long-term value.

Outside of work, you will often find me travelling with family and friends, discovering new places, or heading out on weekend bike rides; stepping away from routine and observing consumer behaviour across geographies, because the best perspectives often arrive unexpectedly.

The lens you choose determines the opportunities you see.

Having begun my career at Ernst & Young, I developed a strong grounding in how companies are built and scaled, which laid the foundation for my passion for investing.

Through my investing journey across Consumer, Tech, B2B and Manufacturing, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for long-term value creation and the importance of true partnership with founders, shaped by my previous experiences at Lighthouse Funds and 360 One Asset Management. I bring a long-term ownership mindset to my work and enjoy partnering with founders, supporting them through the many phases of growth.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me playing racquet sports or exploring street food countrywide — taste-testing with a working thesis in mind.

Patterns repeat. Discipline compounds.

I began my career at Bain, advising consumer and lifestyle companies on growth and operational strategy - then moved into operating roles where performance is measured in inventory turns, pricing discipline, and cash flow reality, not slides and Excel models.

At Venturi Partners, I invest in Indian consumer businesses built to last. I look for durable moats - distribution, brand, or structural cost advantages - that strengthen with scale. Capital allocation discipline matters as much as growth.

Outside of work, I'm drawn to market cycles, historical patterns, and long-form thinking - occasionally disappearing into three-hour podcasts on magnesium metabolism or obscure economic regimes. Hiking across new terrains keeps things grounded, and the ongoing pursuit of the best burger in every country remains a very serious side project.

One step, one punch, one round at a time.

I’m an Associate at Venturi Partners, focused on backing the next generation of Indian consumer brands. I started my professional journey as a management consultant at KPMG, working in the consumer markets team and then transitioned to investing with Fireside Ventures, where I got the opportunity to share a room with some passionate early-stage founders.

While growing up, I lived across cities in India that gave me exposure to the regional nuances that spreadsheets often miss. I am a strong believer in the Indian consumption story and am always on the pursuit to try new products.

Outside of work, I'm an avid sports enthusiast (always up for a game of squash), an amateur mixologist, and constantly planning my next trip. If you’re building something iconic or know an interesting bar, let’s talk.

It's not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen.

With nearly a decade immersed in finance and operations, I’ve cultivated a deep expertise in the PE/VC world, navigating a diverse range of roles on both the sell side and buy side. My career journey began at PwC, where I sharpened my skills in accounting and financial analysis. Since then, I’ve worked alongside both local and leading Chinese venture capital firms, building robust financial reporting systems from the ground up and overseeing complex fund operations with a meticulous focus on detail and strategy.

Outside of work, I’m a foodie who loves exploring everything from Michelin-starred restaurants to local street food. When I’m not trying new dishes, I enjoy solving puzzles and staying active with barre classes.

If you can be anything, be kind. Kindness shows us we’re all worth the effort and all our efforts have worth.

With over 20 years of administrative experience in the banking and financial industries, I have developed a strong skill set in organization, discipline, and dependability. A born-and-bred Singaporean, I take pride in my heritage and the values that shape my work ethic and approach to life. I am a daughter, a wife, and the proud mother of my son, Jordan. My family is at the core of my life, and I bring the same dedication, reliability, and teamwork to my role as a mother and partner as I do in my career.

I am also deeply committed to giving back to my community through voluntary service, which I have been actively involved in since 2012. I thrive on the values of structure and collaboration, and I bring these strengths to both my professional endeavours and my voluntary work, always striving to make a positive impact wherever I can.
