Staff And Leadership

Gail is responsible for managing the programming and operations for SeaKeepers Asia. Always on the lookout for new programs and collaboration opportunities she advocates the work of ‘Research. Educate. Protect and Restore’ working together with DISCOVERY Yachts in educational outreach and during community activities.

Since it’s commencement in 2015, SeaKeepers Asia has reached out to over 1,500 school children in its activities and established multiple marine conservation projects and events, not only in Singapore but also in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Gail in her spare time is an ardent yoga practitioner; she completely relaxes on board a yacht, while appreciating the wonders of the sea and admiring its awesomeness.

After becoming a dive master in Honduras and sailing as crew on a boat from Australia to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, Marla decided that she had to join an organisation that helps her give back to the ocean that she had fallen in love with. Holding a Masters Degree in Environmental Science from Singapore and a Bachelors in Animal Science from Australia, this avid traveller now endeavours to inspire others to venture outside the box and open their minds to the many exciting perspectives the world has to offer.

When not travelling or volunteering for NGOs, Marla teaches English through a company that she set up in Singapore and lectures at some of the local private institutions.

With over 18 years of experience in Public Relations, Events Management and Marketing in the luxury sector, Lucas’ role in SeaKeepers Asia is providing communications expertise. Originally from Singapore, Lucas is fluent in English, Chinese, French and because of having lived in Italy also fluent in Italian. In 2012, after holding notable positions in local and international companies, Lucas decided to establish his own marketing consultancy firm and works with several international brands sharing his expertise. In recent years, Lucas has volunteered for several social causes particularly with an interest in marine conservation.

A love for the outdoors has consistently defined what Chee Wah is - from hiking in the woods, to sailing the open seas, or endless hours on the golf courses. Living in highly urbanised Singapore, he finds these pursuits to be especially therapeutic and mentally invigorating.  Having spent more than 20 years building and owning businesses in international trade and sporting events, Chee Wah now focuses his time in contemplation on protecting and improving our environment - especially the vast oceans that cover more than 70% of our mother earth. He is therefore very honoured to have the opportunity to join the SeaKeepers Asia community and contribute towards advancing its mission.

As the Administration Support, Claira is an integral member of the SeaKeepers Asia volunteer team. Keeping all our administration in order, she is in addition crucial in the preparations leading up to yacht shows, exhibitions and our annual Awards Dinner.

She enjoys the therapeutic nature of being at sea, and strongly believes that conservation of our oceans and its vast marine life, start from within ourselves, our children, and our homes.
