How This Home Appliance Head Survived Rejection, and Doubt to Lead 2 Luxury Brands | NOTG S4 Ep 6

Video description from @notgpodcast

Denise Tan never imagined she’d stay with the same company for nearly three decades. But 27 years and nine roles later, she says it feels like time is a myth—because of how every chapter swiftly brought new challenges, new growth, and a deeper sense of purpose.

In this episode of NOTG, Melvin Lim sits down with Denise, now Head of Project and Built-in Business at BSH Home Appliances ASEAN. She shares how Gaggenau became the brand trusted by Michelin chefs and design-forward homeowners, what a six-digit GCB project taught her about human connection, and why future-proofing your kitchen is really about future-proofing your life.

Denise offers an honest look at resilience, reinvention, and choosing growth—even when it’s uncomfortable. If you’ve ever wondered how someone builds a lasting career without burning out—or how luxury brands stay rooted in authenticity—this conversation is your answer. Tune in to hear the story behind the brand, and the woman behind the story.
