Today, we’ll meet Eric Ting, a Field Support Scientist & Service Manager based out of Singapore.

Tell us a little bit about what your role is at Promega.

I am currently wearing two hats at Promega. First being the Field Support Scientist for Pac Asia region which is my main role and Service Manager for our Promega Singapore branch. Started at Promega in 2007, when my role was mainly involved in the area of pre and post sales activities such as instrument demos, chemistry evaluations and even instrument service support. The role has evolved over the years to where I am currently focusing on assisting customers from various market segments in the area of medium to high throughput automation via our Standard Solutions or integrating Promega’s chemistries on third party liquid handling platforms.

What do you love most about your job?

I love and value the opportunities of meeting customers with diverse backgrounds/cultures from my field/work trips. It just gives you different perspectives in life. The entire process of understanding customers’ needs; figuring out why they do things in certain ways which you may not always agree with; working with our internal resources; overcoming hurdles; challenges and to finally providing the best fit solutions to fulfill the needs/requirement at the end of the day provides a great sense of fulfillment and achievements (though it may not always be a smooth sailing process all the time).

Are you a Star Wars or Star Trek fan or neither?

Unfortunately I’m not. I’m more of general action thriller kind of movies fan, such as Fast and Furious, Mission Impossible, Gemini Man; Taken, etc.

Where do you want to travel to, but have never been?

Europe! Visited some parts of Europe but there are still too many places in Europe to explore.

If you could have one super power, what would it be?

Time travel! To go and do things that I have missed out in the past.

If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be?

Sir Alex Ferguson. The ex-Manchester United Football club manager/coach to tap on his experience on being so successful in managing the club for ages!

When you have an hour of free time, what do you like to do?

Any kind of sports to get the body moving!

What is your favorite sport to watch?

I will probably rank them all equal. I am a huge basketball, soccer and Formula 1 racing fan! Definitely the NBA, and English Premier League in particular.

Thanks Eric for this little insight! If you have questions for Eric or about Promega, please ask!
