Cynthia Chua (born 1972) is a Singaporean businesswoman [1] [2] who is the Founder of Spa Esprit Group. [3] [4] She is known as a lifestyle entrepreneur in Singapore, and was awarded the Singapore Tourism Board’s Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012. [5]
Since 1996, the group has developed beauty spas and food stores that expanded internationally to over 200 outlets and over 2000 employees. [6] It currently focuses on London and other parts of the world to develop new businesses [7] [8] partly because Chua understands that Singapore presents a limited market [9] that could restrict consistent growth in her business lines. [10] [11] In 2016, Chua made investments in local farming taking a specific interest on consumption patterns and lifestyle choices. [12]
Chua holds a bachelor's degree in economics and statistics from the National University of Singapore. Chua previously worked in a bank and was a property agent. In 2002, she developed Singapore's first dedicated waxing salon named Strip, which has over 37 stores in the region.
