Tommy Ng

I have over 25 years of ICT experience in various roles ranging from strategic planning and engagement, regional business development, sales and project management working for local firms, MNCs and Singapore Government agencies. I am currently with the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC), part of A*STAR, promoting the use of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence services to Industry, Government, and IHLs in various domains such as Climate Research, Precision Medicine, Advanced Manufacturing, AI, etc. I work with a leading AI technology player to co-invest in an AI supercomputer in Singapore to position Singapore as an HPC-AI Hub for the region. Before this, I was looking after the Manufacturing Division with IE Singapore. The Division looks at ways to assist companies in industrial automation, IoT, and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to ride on the wave of digitization to internationalize. In ST Electronics (Info-software systems), I was in the International Business division. My role is to source for partners and work with overseas offices to penetrate new emerging markets with our Security-related suite of solutions (SERIS). For this role, I report to the VP of International Business. When I am with SGS, I report to the VP of the company's headquarters in Switzerland. I work closely with local and international strategic/technology partners in eGov, Telemetry, Security and Telecoms to develop a portfolio of solutions and services. Before SGS, I was a regional sales manager and project manager for GMSL. We focus on delivering solutions to the Telecoms and Oil & Gas/ Energy market. As a sales manager, I achieved a sales revenue of USD 46 million during my stay. As a project manager, I managed a USD 15 million turnkey submarine cable project within the project budget at a tight timeline of 10 months. I was involved with regulatory and industry development work during my stay with IDA. I understand Telecom's technology, infrastructure setup, and service offerings well.
