Claire Leow is based in Singapore, supporting her colleagues at the Washington D.C. headquarters when it comes to programs with humanitarians, building relationships with airline and logistics partners, and working alongside donors for the benefit of communities in crisis. These crises may be in-region in Asia and the Pacific, or NGOs in the region may be assisting in humanitarian responses outside of the region. Her area of responsibility ranges from Afghanistan to New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

Claire joined Airlink in 2022 after years in the aviation industry. She was an aviation correspondent and bureau chief for Indonesia at Bloomberg LP before joining aircraft lessor BOC Aviation Ltd. and then aircraft engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce Plc.

She credits her two decades in journalism for her passion in advocacy, and experience in the field covering conflicts and disasters. Her coverage of terror attacks and natural disasters such as the 2004 Aceh earthquake and tsunami set her on the path to volunteering for humanitarian work. She believes raising public awareness of important issues through skillful storytelling is key to effective calls to action. Too many people are unaware that logistics is the main cost (and hurdle) to effective humanitarian aid delivery, a problem Airlink was formed to solve.

Claire graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and English Literature, and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature.
