Leadership is not only about guiding institutions forward. It is also about creating pathways for others to rise.
This belief will take centre stage at WISE Conference 2027, where Angelina Tee, President and CEO of Taylor’s Schools, has been announced as the first keynote speaker. WISE, which stands for Women in International School Empowerment, is a platform dedicated to supporting K–12 women leaders through meaningful connection, professional growth and shared learning.
For Taylor’s Schools, Angelina’s participation reflects a wider commitment to developing leadership that is purposeful, inclusive, and future-focused. As the first female CEO of a regional K–12 schools group in Southeast Asia, Angelina represents a powerful example of what is possible when women are empowered to lead with confidence and conviction.
At WISE27, Angelina will share her professional journey, including the challenges she has faced and overcome in building a successful leadership career while also raising three daughters. Her story speaks to the realities many women leaders experience as they navigate ambition, responsibility, family, and impact.
For Angelina, female leadership is not simply about representation at the top. It is about changing what people believe is possible. As she has shared, “Breaking the glass ceiling is not about being the first, it’s about ensuring that many more can follow.”
This message deeply aligns with Taylor’s Schools’ belief in developing people, whether students, educators, or leaders, to reach their full potential. Across our schools in Malaysia and Singapore, we are committed to nurturing learning communities where individuals are encouraged to grow, lead, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
The future of education depends on diverse voices, courageous leadership, and the willingness to create opportunities for the next generation. Through Angelina Tee’s leadership and Taylor’s Schools’ continued support for women in education, we are proud to be part of a movement that inspires more women to step forward, lead with purpose, and shape the future of learning.
