One was a sword, one was a cute teddy bear. So, it was really two polar opposites... So with work, I am ruthless; zealous if you will. With work, I have very high standards and quality and therefore, I give very tough feedback. People know there is a certain bar to work with me. If you’re not performing well, I tell you straight in the face. On the other hand, by nature, I’m a person who actually likes people. I am very caring to myself and to my folks. So, individuals who have worked with me - be it at McKinsey or Ping An - I care about them deeply.”<ref>Tan, Christine. “[https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/20/cnbc-transcript-jessica-tan-co-ceo-ping-an-group.html CNBC Transcript: Jessica Tan, Co-CEO, Ping An Group]”.
