A/Prof Kee Siong Ng
I am a (part-time) Associate Professor in ANU's newly formed Software Innovation
Institute (SII) and one of the first two Translational Fellows appointed through ANU's
Entrepreneurial Academic Scheme.
I have more than 15 years of post-PhD experience in multiple domains,
including government, financial services, retail, telco, energy, and
manufacturing. I have consulted for many large enterprises in
Asia-Pacific-Japan and act as a trusted advisor for many industry colleagues.
