Alvin Tan

Alvin Tan is the Director and Head of Public Policy & Economics (APAC) at LinkedIn. He was previously Facebook’s Head of Trust & Safety (Southeast Asia), where he helped to keep Facebook’s platforms and its users safe. Alvin’s career spans the private, public and non-profit sectors. He began as a tank platoon commander and a military intelligence officer in the Singapore Armed Forces. He then worked in Oxfam Australia, the United Nations (in the Office of the UN Secretary-General in New York), and was Vice President at Goldman Sachs (Asia-Pacific) before joining Facebook. Alvin is also active in trade associations (US-ASEAN Business Council and Asia Business Trade Association), and helped build the Asia Internet Coalition as Vice Chairman.
