mtm labo’s Kelly Keak shares how she took over the reins from her mother to run a successful beauty business

As a teenager, Kelly Keak helped out at her mother’s beauty centre business part-time while she was studying. While she was mainly responsible for manning the cashier and doing simple chores like changing sheets and washing sponges, this was her gateway into the beauty and skincare industry.

Today, Keak is the managing director of MTM Skincare Singapore, which handles the mtm labo facial treatment centres in Singapore. In 2017, Keak took over the reins from her mother, Dr Susan Teng, who had brought MTM Skincare to Singapore in 2003. Since then, Keak’s focus has been to groom young leaders in her company, training them to listen to and connect more with the clients.
