Mr Andre Low, 34, started his career as a disputes lawyer with Drew & Napier under the tutelage of Senior Counsel Davinder Singh. He then ventured into the startup space where he built products in legal-tech, urban mobility and health-tech, before moving to Amazon Web Services.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Low was also previously a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group, and is currently a staff product manager in a global financial technology company. He graduated with first-class honours from the University College London’s law school, and has a master’s degree in business administration from Insead.
Mr Low is a member of the WP media team, where he helps shape strategy and messaging while managing the party’s digital engagement.
He previously served as a secretarial assistant to Sengkang GRC MP Louis Chua for over three years, supporting grassroots engagement, policy research and weekly Meet-The-People Sessions.
Last year, he appeared alongside Aljunied GRC MP Gerald Giam in a YouTube video discussing WP’s redundancy insurance scheme.
He has also been involved in WP’s Hammer newsletter outreach activities in Tampines, amid speculation that the party may contest in the five-member GRC.
On Friday, while introducing himself, Mr Low said: “I’m stepping up because I believe that Singapore benefits from diversity and a variety of voices all the more in these increasingly troubling times. I feel that we grow stronger when different perspectives are brought to the fore, especially by a loyal opposition.”
He added: “I’m also stepping up because I believe I’ve seen firsthand how policies can impact real people and their lives, and I want to give voice to those who struggle and do not feel like they can speak up for themselves.”
On Thursday, WP announced that tech entrepreneur Kenneth Tiong and senior property manager Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik, both 36, would stand in Aljunied GRC and Sengkang GRC respectively.
Lawyer Siti Alia Abdul Rahim Mattar, 43, and former diplomat Eileen Chong Pei Shan, 33, were also unveiled, though the party did not reveal which constituencies they would contest in.
