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]
