Belgian native Devi Sahny, 28, grew up in her home city of Antwerp and attended Georgetown University in Washington D.C., where she launched her own education start-up while still studying. After graduation, she accepted a job as an investment banking analyst at Goldman Sachs.“After three years, I realised a career in finance was not for me,” she said. “In 2018, I moved to Singapore – knowing only two acquaintances here – to pursue my true passion, education.
While Ms Sahny – who was named one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 this year – said that Ascend Now is just getting started, it’s clear that she’s enjoying every moment of her time as an entrepreneur establishing her vision of education: “I used to roll my eyes when my Dad said: ‘If you really enjoy what you do, it will not feel like work.’ I hate to say it, but he was right.”Like many expatriates, Ms Sahny uses a multi-currency account to help make living and working abroad more convenient.
As Ms Sahny also works with teachers who are based abroad, having a multi-currency account also makes it easier to pay their salaries. The HSBC Everyday Global Account is a multi-currency account and users can send money internationally through the HSBC Global Money Transfers feature on the HSBC Singapore App. This way, they can make faster international transfers that are fee-free* to over 20 countries/territories. It’s a convenient solution for overseas-based account holders who may need to pay bills at home or send money to loved ones.
