Unlike most of his peers, Leon had the luxury to mistily see his "calling” in the field of Web since the tender age of 15 when the Internet was only starting to proliferate in Singapore. A serial entrepreneur since the age of 18, Leon has started or been involved in a number of web-related ventures which covered fields in Social Networking, Web Hosting, Web Solutions, E-commerce, etc. During his 1-year job stint in the Silicon Valley, Leon was deeply immersed into the world’s fastest growing Web 2.0 and Social Media scene. This has majorly reinforced his passion in the Web, as well as reaffirmed his resolution to bring back some of the Web Entrepreneurship goodness to Singapore.
With a strong passion in the Web and an ever-avid interest in marketing and selling a value proposition, it was thus a straight forward decision (well… almost) for Leon to set sail with Techsailor as the Sales and Marketing Director.
Leon’s out-of-work passion finds its way to lavish hobbies which include automobiles, philately and beer tasting. Currently, Leon proudly drives his dream-car-since-2003 - the Honda Accord Euro/JDM, possesses a 300+ years old letter from Great Britain hailing from the year 1666 (around the time of London's Great Fire) in his philatelic collection and has sampled over 300 different beers including the much coveted best-beer-in-the-world - the Westvleteren 12 which he ships from Belgium on a regular basis. Retrospectively, Leon feels that he is fortunate to have benefited from some of his earlier ventures to upkeep his hobbies and further fire his passion for entrepreneurship.
Character and attitude can positively determine your altitude; experience and competence may contrarily induce your fall. - Leon C.K. Leong
