Trina Liang-Lin greets me at her door, beaming as her rescue dog Max wags its tail beside her. I am slightly taken aback by the glow she radiates. Dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, she is the picture of health – rosy-cheeked despite having no make-up on and toned from her relentless strength training. As we settle into our chat in the living room, a light-filled and cosy space with art-covered walls, Edmund Lin joins us. Instantly, the mood in the room calms.

The two times we meet for this feature, I am struck by how different they initially seem. Trina is Managing Director of Templebridge Investments and the media-savvy golden girl for activism, who has pledged her name to a diverse array of causes. Edmund is Partner, Director and Global Head of Financial Services at global consultancy firm Bain & Company. He is introspective and carefully weighs his words before he speaks.

At the cover shoot, Trina exudes charisma with her megawatt smile while Edmund remains cool and collected throughout. Together, they move with a quiet confidence, leaning on each other for support as they pose in a lover’s embrace and exchanging looks in between. Watching them, one has the distinct impression that these are two individuals assured in themselves and each other. Theirs is a union blessed by destiny.
