A day in the life of Miko Tan, LNG Analyst

Miko is an LNG Analyst based in Singapore. Her career path has been quite a unique one - after graduating with a Materials Engineering degree from the National University of Singapore, she went on to become a high school science teacher for 4 years, then a data analyst at financial services company Bloomberg for 5 years, working on data management projects in renewable energy and LNG. Prior to joining the company, Miko worked at financial services and media company Bloomberg as a data analyst. Fun fact: I watch football and am an Arsenal fan. Come on you Gunners!

What does day-to-day life in your role look like?

I usually start the day catching up on LNG news, then spend the rest of the day making progress on a couple of projects for the LNG product. Work involves a mix of data analysis and research, and collaborating with other teams.

What would you say is the most interesting aspect of your role?

The most interesting aspect of my role is getting to work on projects that haven’t been launched to clients - being part of conceptualisation and development, then seeing how different teams come together to get it going and creating the best product we think clients will love.

What was your path to joining Vortexa?

I was a data analyst in my previous career, supporting various research teams who were writing insights and publishing reports on renewable energy and LNG. I developed an interest in the LNG market and was keen to grow my career in this space. That led me to this opportunity with Vortexa.

What kind of qualities does a person need to have to succeed at Vortexa?

A growth mindset, and adaptability.

What do you like about the culture?

Everyone is approachable, passionate about what they do and so willing to help. It also doesn’t matter how long you’ve been with the company - everyone is open to collaborate and listen to what you have to say.
