Edmund Ong T'24

Class President

Hailing from the tropical landscape of Singapore, Edmund was raised by his parents Celia and Fook Sin, alongside his sister Valerie. He served in the Singapore Police Force before crossing the pond for his undergrad studies in Chemical Engineering at the University of British Columbia. Prior to Tuck, he worked in Accenture’s Tech Strategy and Consulting Group. It was in Canada, the great white north, where he met his second family, the Dutcyvichs (Due-ker-vitch-es), and learned the valuable skill of skiing that is used regularly at Tuck. At Tuck, he distinguished himself as a Revers Fellow, co-chair for Admitted Students Weekend, and President of our Student Board. His passion extended beyond the classroom to the ice, where he skated on as the 'Edsterminator' in Tripod. Post-Tuck, he will hit the streets of Wall and join Morgan Stanley’s Investment Banking Division.
