About Gina (founder of EKS and Baker's One)
I started to attend cooking classes at the age of 17 mainly on Chinese cuisine, Dian Xin and very little about baking.
In 1984 I joined a company specialize in Swiss cookware as a sales demonstrator. It's the beginning of my career in this industry, working with this company for a year in Singapore I was transferred to Malaysia as an Advertising and Promotion executive. My duty is to train sales demonstrator and personnel, impart product knowledge, the right presentation skills.
I was given the opportunity to work with chefs from renowned hotel, restaurant and also food columnist from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore in converting their long tedious traditional recipes to a easy cooking concept.
Then come EKS the whole market changes from cooking to baking but with my experiences developing recipes is not a task. It is a wonderful experiences, it gives me the opportunity to develop myself into this field.
Beside this new experiences and extensive members base my recipes has increase tremendously and it range from bread, cakes, pastry, tarts etc.
Today being the Business Development Director for EKS and Baker's One not only I take care of the business development. I have been attending baking/cooking courses to upgrade my knowledge and fine tune my skill in these industries.
