David Wong
Co-Founder and CEO of BOOQED
Business developer, entrepreneur and start-up veteran with substantial international experience in blue-chip companies and new ventures in mobile entertainment, digital media and tech. I particularly enjoy translating strategy into action — taking a “Big Idea” and building it into a profitable and sustainable business. Currently co-founder / CEO of Booqed, a digital marketplace helping connect companies needing short-term space to work, meet or have an event with landlords that have unused space — and build a global brand, business model and network. My other passion is in the area of social enterprise — to “do good” as well as make good. I’ve seen the difference a well-run social enterprise can have on local communities, providing economic opportunities for people who need it most.
