Whee Teck ONG — CEO
After 30-plus years leading technology transformation across consulting and financial services, I've joined Kyndryl as VP Consult Partner, ASEAN & Korea. Throughout my career, I've championed a core belief: organizations thrive when they architect learning into their DNA. This philosophy underpins my book Adult Learning Architecture (Edition 3), which introduces the 5M Framework—a holistic approach to mastering new skills at any age. Beyond business, I'm a passionate advocate for lifelong learning and actively involved in the Singapore art scene as founding leader of Singapore Sketchers and member of Urban Sketchers Singapore. I believe deeply in continuous learning, personal reinvention, and giving back to the community.
