From 1981 to 2001, he was with the Prudential plc and held several senior positions in the company, including Actuary of Prudential Malaysia, Chief Executive of Prudential Singapore and managing director, Established Markets of Prudential Asia.

Tan has a first-class honors degree from the London School of Economics, and a master's degree in social organizational psychology from Columbia University, New York.
As a former CEO of Income Insurance, then known as NTUC Income, he was against a proposed acquisition of the insurer by the German multinational financial services company Allianz in 2024.[6] The deal was eventually called off amid intense public scrutiny.[7] During the 2025 Singaporean general election, Tan wrote an open letter to PAP politicians associated with the failed deal, most notably Ng Chee Meng and Gan Kim Yong, asking for greater transparency. Tan later endorsed the Workers' Party (WP) team in Punggol GRC, particularly Harpreet Singh Nehal, who is running against Gan.[8][9]
